Description

Literature and the learning of language are such social events. That's why I like literature circles because they provide opportunities for students to do so much work together, such as writing stories where they brainstorm together. This whole theory is that they learn together and they can help each other. The ideas don't always have to come from the teacher. It's better when they come from the other students. (Lee C., student teacher) The changing world of literacy teaching creates considerable controversy over how student teachers should be prepared to meet the needs and challenges of literacy education. Former taken-for-granted notions about literacy and literacy education are no longer stable, and changing populations and a proliferation of new literacy technologies are challenging teachers to account for unprecedented rapid changes in language itself (Luke, 1995; New London Group, 1996). In the past two decades, broader and more complex approaches to literacy teaching have been developed which have the potential to result in increased student engagement, greater depth of literacy learning, improved literacy abilities in real-life settings, and continued literacy participation and learning in later life. Social constructivist tenets undergird many of these approaches to literacy teaching, but the shift they necessitate in teacher education are not occurring without debate. Lee's voice provides an insight into how a student teacher begins to grapple with the ideas contained in a theory where the social context of language learning is highly relevant.
