Contemporary Asian Australian Poets EAL/D Student Book (EAL/D Module B)

The Contemporary Asian Australian Poets Student Book is a study of the prescribed poems of six Asian Australian poets from the 2013 poetry collection Contemporary Asian Australian Poets edited by Adam Aitken, Kim Cheng Boey, and Michelle Cahill, along with several additional texts. It has been designed to fulfil the requirements of the NSW Stage 6 EAl/D Module B: Language, Identity and Culture.

In order to develop their understanding of the relationship between language, identity and culture in literary texts, students will engage in an enjoyable and detailed study of the ways different authors use language to reflect and shape individual identity and cultural groups, before turning their attention to the prescribed poems: 'This is Where it Begins', 'My Hakka Grandmother', 'The Double Man', 'Some New Perspectives', 'Circular Breathing', and 'Translucent Jade'.

This student book is a highly valuable resource for students and teachers of the NSW Stage 6 EAL/D Module B: Language, Identity and Culture. It includes:

• Text summaries and glossaries.
• Clear explanations of important literary devices and concepts.
• Rich individual and collaborative tasks.
• Integrated Focus on Writing tasks to ensure students have the opportunity to experiment with techniques, style and forms in a range of modes and media to produce their own imaginative, critical, discursive, and persuasive pieces.
• Five practice exam-style essay questions.
