Literacies and Learners: Current perspectives continues to question common sense notions of language and language learning. It explores the major theories and issues in the fields of language, language acquisition and language education.

This edition provides the latest information and incorporates many more practical teaching strategies, aimed at helping teachers to bring creative and critical thinking and action into their classrooms. With Australian content, currency of approaches and very practical examples, this text gives an accessible introduction to literacy and learning that will deepen student teachers' understanding of their own reading and writing practices.
