ESV Unit Details as at 13th June, 2002 Communication Enrolment code: ESV201 Offered: Distance education: semester 1 OR semester 2 Covers two areas. First, the unit is designed to introduce the student to the requirements of academic work, including the organisational skills and research behind the process of academic writing. Second, there is a group of topics which provides a solid foundation to inform the students’ areas of teaching practice through: an exploration of the communication process, questioning the importance of listening, non-verbal recognition and language and literacy in communication.

These introductions are studied in the context of the current international and national socio-political milieu. Such assumptions as pedagogy, androgogy, self-directed learning and critical reflection and analysis will also be explored in the context of lifelong learning. The unit concludes with an exploration of the policy foundations which influences the contexts in which adult learning in Australia is practised.

Using the primary discipline base of socio-linguistics, the overall direction develops the idea that language and literacy is part of and results from the activities of the particular context, whether these are related to vocational, functional or personal contexts of language and literacy use. The basis for the unit is to establish how the key informing disciplines introduced in ESV208 have resulted in the features identified in this area of practice.

The links are made between the contexts in which educational practices occur in adult language, literacy and numeracy education and the practical application of those skills. The key discipline base of socio-linguistics is explored in greater depth. The underlying theme is that effective adult language, literacy and numeracy education depends on an ethical and equitable blend of both generic and context-specific practices, whether these are related to vocational, functional or personal contexts of use.
