ALEA and ACMI State Annual Conference 2025

Forging important connections between traditional and screen, media and digital literacies

This practical conference supports teaching English (Language, Literacy, and Literature) across the curriculum. The focus is on building student skills and confidence in reading and viewing, writing and creating, listening and speaking, while fostering engagement and enjoyment in learning.

The program presents a range of evidence-based, engaging strategies for teaching increasingly complex aspects of language and literacy, recognising the developmental nature of literacy growth and the need for differentiating teaching and learning.

Through a rich mix of interactive workshops and research-informed presentations, participants will deepen their professional subject knowledge and pedagogic skills for effectively teaching reading, responding to texts, creative and critical thinking, and crafting meaning in texts, including written, spoken, visual and multimodal.

Presenter highlights include:

Professor Beryl Exley (Griffith University): Reporting on the evidence base: What happens when teachers put the student at the centre of literacy learning?

Dr. Mellie Green (Southern Cross University): Weaving joy, justice and professional judgment: Teaching reading for enjoyment in the primary English classroom.
