Course description
This is a targeted preparatory course for all incoming international students and non-traditional entrants into the Master of Educational Studies program. It is intended to develop foundational understandings of educational theories that relate to teaching and learning in a globalised context, develop a working knowledge of research methodologies and underpinning ethical issues, enable the acquisition of writing skills for different genres and audiences, further the development of collaborative learning in cross cultural contexts and strengthen students¿ analytical skills. The course will introduce students to key educational theories, build an understanding of policy and its relation to curriculum and pedagogy, and develop understandings of the role of language and literacy with a particular focus on the globalisation of English.
