What Is English Teaching? (English, Language, and Education Series) - Softcover
This text explores the question - What is English teaching? - from a variety of perspectives, including teachers' beliefs about what they should be teaching, the views of the government and the reality of young people's experiences in the 1990s. In particular, it explores the question of how - and even whether - the English subject area is capable of meeting its own, and the outside world's, expectations for teaching not only its specialist concerns, but also general literacy. The book explores ways in which the teaching of English might develop - for instance, by balancing its efforts evenly between literature study, media study and knowledge about language - and how it might contribute to wider literacy teaching, by sharing its distinctive teaching strategies with teachers of other subjects.

Review:
"In a climate where the baldly practical approach has prevailed, it is refreshing to have someone asking the big questions - and coming up with some answers." - NATE Magazine "...an approachable and readable book:it would enable servingEnglish teachers to clarify and update their thinking and would be a first rate introduction for student teachers." - Speech and Drama "PGCE students of English would do well to buy a copy, and English departments to discuss it." - Mentoring andTutoring
