This new edition of "Teaching Secondary English" is thoroughly
revised, but its purpose has not changed. Like the popular first
edition, it balances content knowledge with methodology, theory
with practice, and problem-posing with suggested solutions. The
tone and format are inviting, while addressing student-readers on a
professional level. Rather than attempting to cover everything, the
text provides a framework and materials for teaching a secondary
English methods course, while allowing considerable choice for the
instructor. The focus is on teaching literature, writing, and
language--the basics of the profession. Attention is given to the
issues that arise as one seeks to explore what it means to "teach
English." The problems and tensions of becoming a teacher are
discussed frankly, in a manner that helps students figure out their
own attitudes and solutions.
Features:
* Focuses on a few central concepts in the teaching of secondary
English
* Provides an anthology of 22 readable and challenging essays on
key topics--allowing students to hear a variety of voices and
opinions
* Includes an applications section for each reading that extends
the discussion and asks students to explore problems and grapple
with important issues related to the articles
* Offers short writing assignments in questions that follow the
readings and in brief writing tasks in the applications, and a
longer writing assignment at the end of each chapter
* Addresses student readers directly without talking down to them
New in the Second Edition:
* This edition is shorter, tighter, and easier to use.
* The opening and concluding chapters more directly address the
concerns of new teachers.
* The anthology is substantially updated (of the 22 articles
included, 14 are new to this edition).
* Each essay is preceded by a brief introduction and followed by
questions for further thought.
* There are fewer applications, but these are more extensive and
more fully integrated within the text.
* A writing assignment is provided at the end of each chapter.
* Interviews with college students--before and after student
teaching--are included in Chapters 1 and 6.
* The bibliographies at the end of each chapter are fully
updated.
