My immediate reactions to this document is that you can see those conceptualisations of English pedagogy that are valued such as sociocultural and critical literacy. Students understanding of audience, purpose and content is central to the paper. It also shows the movement toward covering multiple literacies such as media, film and multimedia along with the traditional elements of story and poetry.
As both a teacher and student, there are implications to what needs to be taught/studied in the curriculum. Currency is significant. You need to be aware of current media studies e.g. Terry Denton, and how to read transcripts as opposed to listening and viewing; of filmic structure, multimedia such as games/gaming - how to read procedural text, the language conventions of reading visual multimedia text; personal response in relation to short stories, and analyzing poetry. Students must be prepared to understand and use the conventions of multiple forms of 'texts'.
