Australian Literature in Education Roundtable
The Australia Council for the Arts hosted a roundtable discussion on the study of Australian literature in schools and universities on Tuesday 7 August, including 20 eminent authors, publishers, teachers and academics. In the spirit of beginning a national conversation about the role of Australian literature in schools and universities, the Australian Literature in Education Roundtable participants believe that: - Literature presents many perspectives on life, powerfully imagined and memorably expressed, and that exposure to this variety of ways of thinking about the world is one of the main benefits of literary study, particularly in a multicultural and diverse society such as ours; - Intensive study of literary works of distinction contributes directly to the development of language skills; - The study of literature is a coherent and long-established discipline related to, but not identical with, the study of other forms of artistic expression or cultural phenomena, etc. For more information, CLICK HERE.
