"Every teacher in English is a teacher of English," said George
Sampson, one of the early school inspectors, back in 1921. It's
never been truer, or more relevant. Literacy has a major impact on
young people's life-chances and it is every teacher's
responsibility to help build their communication, reading and
writing skills. However, this book isn't just about literacy; it's
also about what great teachers do in their classrooms, about
applying knowledge consistently across classrooms, in order to help
pupils to become more confident in their subjects. This book shows
every teacher - whatever your subject - the simple steps which
could transform your students into better speakers, listeners,
readers and writers. Harnessing a range of straightforward, but
powerful techniques, it shows you how to help each student in your
subject to improve their spelling, to use the key vocabulary of
your subject more accurately and to speak, read and write with
confidence like a historian, scientist, designer or mathematician.
The book is structured into clear sections which are then divided
into short, easy-to-absorb units on the classroom implications of
what we know about literacy. Don't Call it Literacy! also includes:
language commentaries which exemplify points made by the author;
talking points at the end of each unit for self-assessment; a
glossary for non-specialists; subject specific vocabulary for
building students' word power; tutor time spellings lists; a
reading list on teaching, language, literacy and education. Written
by a leading authority in the field, this book will help both
trainee and practising secondary school teachers to turn their
classroom into literacy-friendly environments, increasing the
motivation and achievement of their students.
