Your assignment should be presented in the form of an academic essay of approximately 3000 words. You should draw on current theory and examples of best practice, making reference to at least six references from scholarly sources, including at least four current journal articles.
You should explain a balanced approach both in terms of the skills and content to be taught and the pedagogical approaches used. You may illustrate your description with examples of classroom practice which may be drawn from your reading.
This is an academic essay, so formal, academic language should be used, maintaining clarity of expression and considering the needs of your reader. Ensure that you revise and edit your work so that meaning is clear, using appropriate grammar, punctuation and spelling. Use the ECU style (referencing) guide for presentation and referencing (APA 6th).
