Tales from Beyond Suburbia

This edition of Idiom aims to highlight and amplify the voices of English teachers and students working and living in rural and regional areas around Victoria. It examines what we really mean when we use the terms regional or rural and what are rural and regional issues, and includes teachers writing about their own lived experience residing and working in rural and regional areas, and contributions from both teachers and students exploring curriculum as it pertains to regional and rural English education.
