This is an updated version of the popular PETAA course, Introduction to English grammar and vocabulary, presented by Dr Rod Campbell. This course supports teachers to understand the role of grammar and vocabulary in the broader English literacy context, as described in the new NSW K-6 English syllabus, Australian Curriculum vs.9 and the National Literacy Learning Progression version 3. Teaching students the knowledge and skills for writing English can be creative, engaging, and effective. This short, practical course models strategies and provides resources that can be used immediately in the classroom.
