Welcome
to
Language and Literacy Education
(LLED)
The range of the Department's work includes research and teaching in Literacy Education, Teaching English as a Second Language, Modern Language Education and Teacher Librarianship. LLED also contributes to the MA Program in Children's Literature, working with colleagues in the Faculty of Arts, and maintains a strong interest in the teaching of verbal and related arts, particularly literature and drama/theatre education.
We invite you to explore this site to learn about our work in Canada and internationally. You will see that we collaborate with educators committed to social change and better opportunities for learning in many places: in school districts in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, with Canadian colleagues in each province, and with researchers and educators in Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, and across North and South America.
We welcome your enquiries: please make contact if you would like to know more about our research and teaching programs.
