  • CHAPTER ONE Overview of the Study
    CHAPTER ONE Overview of the Study :7548*=4+=9-*= 9:)>= This research project comprises a discursive exploration of the 2007 Tasmanian Curriculum: English Literacy K-10 Syllabus, hereafter referred to as the Tasmanian English Syllabus (TES). Although English as an oral language was my fifth language, it was my first literate one, and by the end of my primary school years, English had become my dominant language. Without my English language skills, I would not have had access to many privileges in society such as higher education and satisfying employment. My parents’ struggles to navigate Australian society with inadequate English language skills offered me an early lesson in what it might mean to be disempowered by a lack of valued literacy skills. From this background, I have endeavoured to foster high levels of English literacy in my teaching career. Until analysing the TES I had no idea that Aristotelian paradigms would figure so prominently in this thesis. I had viewed the ‘back to basics’ literacy rhetoric common in the media and conservative political speeches as reminiscent of a discourse more so associated with the ‘1950s white picket fence, the hills hoist in the backyard and the Holden in the garage’ constructions of Australian identity (Luke, 2001, p. 8). What I found, however, was that the ‘basics’ went back much further, to a time of imagined Western glory that was far more pervasive than generally acknowledged and is now also far more widespread in its influences than commonly realised. As Richard Rubenstein, 1 author of Aristotle’s Children stated in a radio interview (Philosophy Talk, 2005), both the ‘Blues’ (Republicans) and the ‘Reds’ (Democrats) in the U.S.

    HIS HIGHNESS SHEIKH HAMAD BIN KHALIFA AL THANI, THE FATHER AMIR, AND HER HIGHNESS SHEIKHA MOZA BINT NASSER PARTICIPATE IN NATIONAL SPORT DAY AT QATAR FOUNDATION Doha, Qatar, 10 February 2015: His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the Father Amir, and Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, Chairperson of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science, and Community Development (QF) joined thousands of spectators from around the country to celebrate National Sport Day at Qatar Foundation. Their Highnesses watched participants enjoy a range of physical activities designed to inspire healthy living and enjoyment of sport, and thereby support delivery of the Qatar National Vision 2030. They also witnessed a table tennis tournament for people with special needs, a basketball for children and adults as well as a range of traditional Qatari games such as sack races, rope pulling and Dahrouri. The highlight of this year’s activities was the walkathon through Education City. Under the theme of ‘Unlock Your Inner Athlete’, each stage of the route included educational activities to inspire people to lead healthier, more active lifestyles. The walkathon was inaugurated by the President of Qatar Foundation, Engineer Saad Al Muhannadi. Discussing the inspiration behind QF’s activities, he said: “Modern-day lifestyles and everyday pressures can have a negative impact on physical and mental health, and I believe that sport is vital to counterbalancing these effects.” “Therefore, through its various centres, programmes, and initiatives, Qatar Foundation is focusing on integrating sports and exercise into everyday lives in order to encourage the population to become more active,” he continued.
