We acknowledge the atraditional owners of this land upon which we are gathering, the Wadjuk people of the Noongar nation, and we pay our respects to their elders past and present. We are grateful for their guidance and look to honour their traditions in storytelling, conversations and cultural exchange through the spirit of our conference. This year’s conference has attracted outstanding speakers from around the world, who will present their research and ideas about the theme The Art of English: Language, Literature, Literacy. Over the days of the conference we will have 135 sessions of professional discussion with 190 different presentations led by 261 English and Literacy specialists. Sessions will explore the three strands of our theme – English as an Art, English and the Arts and English through the Arts – as well as engaging with Australia’s wide-ranging education contexts, and professional experiences. Through the support of our principal sponsor, the Copyright Agency Cultural Fund, this year the AATE/ ALEA National Conference incorporates a ‘literary festival’ within the conference. This combined approach of literary and educational discussion replicates the important relationship between writers and teachers of English and Literacy that is fundamental to our classroom practice in all levels of education. Our collection of literary and educational keynote and concurrent sessions will address our theme and there is a variety of quality offerings in every session to meet the professional learning needs of English and literacy educators, including inspirational Australian authors and creators. As well as the excellent keynote and concurrent sessions, we are proud to be showcasing the best that Perth has to offer in our exciting social and cultural events. We hope that you enjoy these events and take some time to network with colleagues who share your passion about inspiring confidence, excellence, creativity and a love of language, literature and literacy in future generations. We offer sincere appreciation to all delegates for being part of the conference, as well as special thanks to our sponsors and exhibitors for supporting. We invite you all to explore what the exhibitors have to offer in the exhibitors’ hall throughout the conference, and perhaps take home some great mementos of this conference through the works of keynote presenters. We look forward to meeting all of our delegates. Enjoy the conference! Co-convenors Claire Jones (AATE), Grace Oakley (ALEA) and Wendy Cody (AATE). 3 ALEA/AATE Conference 2018 Wireless Internet Access Confirmation Welcome to Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre Your Delegate Wi-Fi activation to access the Internet is as follows: Activation Code: conference18 In order for your device to access the Internet through our high-speed wireless network you will need to: 1.

Dianne writes across genres and has a teaching background. During this mini Bootcamp she plans to cover multiple aspects of writing; research, shaping an idea (picture book, chapter book or novel?), developing characters and themes, plotting, editing tips and understanding the publishing marketplace. It will be fast- paced but there will also be time for questions and sharing. Dianne Wolfer writes books across genres for teenagers and young readers. Her love of animal stories led to PhD research into Anthropomorphism in Children’s Literature and novels The Shark Caller and The Dog with Seven Names. In the Lamplight is the third title in the award-winning, historical Lighthouse Girl/Light Horse Boy series. For more information visit www.diannewolfer.com Reading the Region: Place-based pedagogies – Jo Jones and Claire Jones (Secondary/Tertiary) This workshop will take advantage of our location on the banks of the Swan River to explore place-based pedagogies. We will explore the way that geographies, built environments and memoryscapes of specific places provide encounters rich with teaching/learning opportunities. The session will show how educators can engage these complex encounters through methods that extend beyond conventional classroom-based tuition. By considering the concept of the ‘spacial turn’ we will discuss how teachers and students can draw on immediate and palpable understandings of space, and the human events that inflect them, to invoke responses that are more enlivened, relevant and authentic than established and conventional modes of literary study. The session will close with a practical example of reading the region by exploring the Swan River as a memoryscape using digital technologies that can be replicated in other regions and environment, and your classroom. Jo Jones and Claire Jones are sisters who started their professional lives as secondary English teachers. After a number of years in the classroom, including time as state examiners of the WA English and Literature courses, they have both returned to academic research and now teach Literature and Cultural Studies at tertiary level, teaching many of our future writers, as well as graduate English teachers. Jo is a senior lecturer at Curtin University and has served on the AATE National Council. Claire teaches at the University of Western Australia and is the President of the English Teachers Association of WA. The ‘new’ digital literacy of coding - Chris Walsh (Early Childhood and Primary) This workshop will explore how teachers can use digital literacies and hands-on inquiry-based projects to teach the Australian Curriculum: Technologies from F to 6. The workshop will also explore how design briefs can act as a catalyst for students to introduce the ‘new’ literacy of coding and robotics through play-based digital learning (PBDL). Coding and programming robots, particularly humanoid robots, provides an engaging way for primary students and educators to engage in computational thinking as they work together to solve problems. Students can draw on their experiences using technologies to create a variety of imaginative, informative and persuasive texts including recounts, procedures, performances, literary retellings and poetry. Chris Walsh is Professor of Education at Victoria University. He is passionate about working with teachers to co-design teaching and learning to prepare all students for the future. He believes every student can engage in 'thinking in technologies’. Chris also understands that for all students to be successful participants in an economy being transformed by new technologies, they need a sound understanding of digital literacies including coding, gaming and robotics. 7 Monday July 9th Time Theatre Meeting Room 1 Meeting Room 2 Meeting Room 3 Riverview Rooms 4/5 Monday 9 July 8.45 - 9.15 Official Opening Welcome to Country Session 1 Keynote: 9.15 - 10.15 Kim Scott NO OTHER SESSIONS Both Trapped and Free Morning tea: 10.15 - 10.45 Book Signing Session 2 Keynote: Donald Keynote: Graves Address Craig Silvey 10.45-11.45 Dominic Wyse Choice, voice and process: Coming of Age how writing should be taught in the 21st century 10 min move time 11.45 -11.55 Session 3 Short Talks Concurrent Concurrent Concurrent 11.55-12.55 Marissa Price 1.
