Summary Note "'Language investigations' is a resource book that takes aspects of the Language strand of the 'Australian Curriculum: English' [for Years 7-10] and puts them into larger contextualised programs of work on language with 25 practical units which individually and together explain and address terms referred to in the curriculum. The material is presented in a flexible way that allows teachers to use the information, ideas and activities at different year levels and with students of different ability levels. Each chapter contains multiple activities: some are quite specific, others open ended. Some chapters will be integrated units - others will be a succession of discrete activities on the chapter topic." - Back cover.
