This edited collection analyses the use of comics in primary and secondary education. The editors and contributors draw together global research to examine how comics can be used for critical inquiry within schools, and how they can be used within specific disciplines. As comics are beginning to be recognised more widely as an important resource for teaching, with a huge breadth of topics and styles, this interdisciplinary book unites a variety of research to analyse how learning is 'done' with and through comics. The book will be of interest to educational practitioners and school teachers, as well as students and scholars of comic studies, education and social sciences more broadly.

Using a cross-curricular approach, Wiegand discusses the knowledge necessary for preparing children for life in a pluralist society. Looking at theories of education for citizenship, environment education and economic and industrial understanding, it examines the evidence for what children know and feel about their own country, other countries and people in "distant" places. He offers practical suggestions for curriculum planning and classroom activities in the primary school and examines ways in which project work on different localities can be initiated and developed.

The Little Library Life Skills Kit (along with the Literacy and Numeracy Kits) was initially developed to respond to a need for high quality, indigenous books for the younger members of our communities. After ten years successful use in schools, the kits have now been revised to meet the changing needs of learners, schools and the new education policies. The Life Skills Kit focuses on promoting life skills to learners of five to nine years of age, as stated in the National Curriculum Statement. Monkey business is written in verse with a simple rhyming scheme. A monkey family watch a human family having a picnic. They watch them drink beer and smoke cigarettes, and copy them after the humans leave. The curious monkeys feel ill from the beer and cigarettes and also set fire to the forest. Eventually they decide that some human habits are not worth copying.

With a Foreword by Hugh Starkey and Audrey Osler, and Afterwords by Graham Crookes, Hilary Janks and Allan Luke, this book promotes critical language education and illustrates how a critical agenda can be enacted in English language education in real classrooms. It presents four cases located in primary and secondary schools in the province of Buenos Aires in Argentina in contexts that can be characterised as vulnerable or difficult. It describes the possibilities, challenges and limitations of this critical agenda using students' drawings, posters, leaflets, artwork, classroom activities and conversational data as foundation, and including the voices of local teachers in their classrooms. Importantly, these teachers used teacher-made, locally produced, critical post-method materials, described by the author of those materials in one of the chapters. In this way, the book offers a unique balance of researcher, teacher and materials writer voices. These materials are included in the book and can help language teachers around the world to introduce critical perspectives in their specific contexts. The book is appealing to researchers, classroom teachers, teacher educators, and materials writers and developers interested in critical language education.

The Big books introduce the learners to a variety of text types. The books include story text, simple factual text, rhymes, riddles, jokes and graphic text and have been specially developed to introduce the learners, in an informal manner, to a variety of characteristics of printed text. The level of difficulty of the Big Books increases from the first easy repetitive text in Big Book 1 to Big Book 16, where learners are expected to use their increasing visual literacy skills and understanding of language. The books have been specially written to suit the level of development, the experiential/life world and the sense of humour of the Grade 3-learner. This book ties in with the topic “About me” in the Learner’s Book and Teacher’s Guide. The books have also been developed so that they can be used in more that one reading session as is comprehensively explained in the teaching plans.

Practical and user-friendly – simple, visual and logical. Colour-coded for easy understanding, recall and application.

This book will provide a ready-made, user-friendly scheme of work. It is not meant to be used in isolation, but rather in conjunction with regular lessons and other textbooks.

The basic structure of the English Language is constant, only the application will differ between classes.

FOR THE LECTURER

This book will replace the notes you give at different levels every year. It will save you the time, effort and expense of compiling and photocopying notes.

You will have the security of knowing that your students have a comprehensive set of notes, which can be added to or omitted according to the level being taught.

These notes may be used in class for instruction or revision. The book may also be used independently by your students for self-study and homework tasks. Once taught, each section can simply be revised and updated each year, freeing you from having to re-teach it.
The main benefit is that you will be able to teach English in context. You will have the freedom to use whatever is current, relevant and of interest to your students.

They will have a constant source of reference and you will therefore be able to teach without having to stop for note-taking or lengthy explanations.
