Investigating literary knowledge in the making of English teachers.

这个项目旨在创造文学知识在学科英语中的作用的新的理解。澳大利亚的学校教育中规定了英语教育;然而，学科内容以及教师的知识和教学方法存在很大争议，特别是在文学教学方面。该项目采用全国性调查、焦点小组访谈和纵向研究，旨在提供对早期职业教师所需的文学知识、课程和专业实践对学科知识的影响以及文学研究在中小学和大学的运作的新认识。值得注意的是，它计划使用“文学社会性”，一种创新的方法，在澳大利亚文学研究中产生经验和概念的观点，这将在国际上具有价值。

This project aims to create new understanding of the role of literary knowledge within subject English. English education is mandated in Australian schooling; however, subject content as well as teachers’ knowledge and pedagogical approaches are highly contested, particularly regarding the teaching of literature. Using a national survey, focus group interviews and a longitudinal study, the project aims to provide new understandings of the literary knowledge that early career teachers need, of the impact of curricula and professional practice on disciplinary knowledge, and about the operation of literary studies across school and university. Significantly, it plans to use ‘literary sociability’, an innovative methodology, to generate empirical and conceptual perspectives on literary studies in Australia that will be of value internationally.
