<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Dear fellow English teachers,<BR>
<BR>
I am doing my PhD at Griffith University in English education. My research aims to examine the current VCE English course at 3/4 level by constructing teachers stories of their teaching of literary texts, particularly within the two areas of ‘Creating and Presenting’ and ‘Reading and Responding’.<BR>
<BR>
I am seeking Unit 3/4 English teachers who would be happy to discuss their experiences with me. The interviews can be arranged by location and time to suit your own schedule. <BR>
<BR>
I am happy to answer any questions you have. Please read the advertisement below.<BR>
<BR>
Kind Regards,<BR>
<BR>
Bree <BR>

</B>If you are a Unit ¾ V.C.E. English teacher and you have taught the course since 2008, I need your assistance to be part of Ph.D research project in Education through Griffith University.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
I am researching the teaching of literary texts within the two textual areas of the course, ‘Creating and Presenting’ and ‘Reading and Responding’. I am keenly interested in teachers’ stories of practice and I firmly believe in the importance of teachers’ own voices reflecting academic research.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Your involvement requires participating in 3 interviews, each of ½ hour duration over the course of three terms, beginning late term 4 (negotiable) 2009. These interviews can be arranged at a time and location convenient to you.<BR>
<BR>
If you are interested in participating or would like to know more, please contact Bree Kitt at <a href="kitt.bree.r@edumail.vic.gov.au">kitt.bree.r@edumail.vic.gov.au</a> or on 0409389253<BR>
