Abstract

This chapter presents work-in-progress that investigates the positioning of the visual in recent iterations of the Australian curriculum for subject English. Much professional literature in recent years has advocated the inclusion of multiliteracies, including visual literacy, across the school subjects. This chapter attempts to explore definitions and conceptualisations of visual literacy, and argues that existing ways of ‘seeing the visual’ within secondary classroom practice are limited, as they focus on ‘visual grammar’, while neglecting the affective domain and aesthetic response. Findings derived from document analysis are presented with a view to ascertaining the ways in which the visual is constructed and positioned in the curriculum for subject English. Recommendations drawn from these findings include the development of dedicated pedagogies and assessment frameworks to support a broader and more authentic use of visual resources in secondary schooling.
