Researching in English: Document Study
Sawyer, Wayne
English in Australia, v50 n3 p67-70 2015
In this article I argue for the defining importance of document study for researchers in curriculum. Two examples of previous analyses are provided, one demonstrating an approach to language analysis of the "Australian Curriculum: English" from the Literature strand, the other a study of the relationship of curricula to each other in three national jurisdictions. Then suggested references are given for teacher-researchers to take up this kind of analysis.
