Abstract
Using resistant reading as a vehicle, this study examines the newly articulated British Columbian Language Arts English curriculum documents, specifically Curriculum Guide, Position Statements, The Research Base: Research about Teaching and Learning, and Learning Through Reading: Teaching Strategies Resource Book. By placing the Language Arts English curriculum documents within a specific intertextual framework constructed from related curricular documents and contemporary investigations into literacy and curriculum, the author shows how the curriculum documents subvert their most important intended goals. Ultimately, the curriculum documents subvert their important intended goals, making the attainment of these goals improbable and perhaps impossible, by failing to incorporate adequately and consistently contemporary conceptions of literacy.
