Intermediate English ABQ gives teachers the qualifications to teach in the Intermediate Division (grades 7 to 10). The course provides teachers with the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the foundations of English instruction and literacy practices at the Intermediate level. Participants will have the opportunity to examine the elements of a balanced language program, and will be able to implement a successful program by developing a deeper understanding of the components required. This will be achieved through an exploration of a wide range approaches, theoretical and practical, taken from the course text and the Ontario Ministry of Education. With a focus on young adolescents’ reading and writing processes, the course explores literacy as an active construction of knowledge and the conventions associated with that. They will gain an understanding of balanced literacy and, in a culminating task, apply and synthesize their learning in an integrated unit plan. Finally, they will develop an appreciation of the importance of literacy in students’ lives as active social citizens and will further develop their ability to program for all students.
