Many agree that engaging in research is what makes a teacher's
professional development sustainable, and Researching and Teaching
Reading studies the ways in which research and teaching are
entwined both within and beyond the classroom. Gabrielle Cliff
Hodges encourages readers to deepen their understanding of reading
through high-quality teaching and research activities designed to
engage young learners and generate rich research data, in the
expectation that teachers will wish to adapt or develop them
further within their own contexts. The author explores how
teachers' research and critical reading can further develop their
understanding of their students' reading practices and argues that
innovative approaches to teaching integrated with research enable
English teachers to re-construct ideas and change how reading is
taught. Key issues considered in this book include: Studying
reading in terms of extending young people's ability to interpret
and enjoy texts; The idea of reading as a social practice; The
concept of culture in relation to reading; Why historical and
spatial theoretical perspectives matter when researching and
teaching reading. This book is a valuable resource for any student
teachers or practising English teachers wishing to learn more about
the connection between researching and teaching reading, how to
combine them in the classroom and the positive effect bringing the
two together can have on their own professional development.
