`What the book does extremely well is do describe the way things
are in terms of the requirements of the Framework for Teaching
English, the curriculum and the new specifications - and for this
reason it is likely to be most useful to those contemplating
English tech9ng in the maintained sector from outside - returnees,
aspiring NQTs or those in the independent sector' - Times
Educational Supplement `Instead of taking us yet again on a tour
through the four modalities of English, this book's tri-partite
structure takes a refreshingly different approach by offering
thought-provoking argument grounded in classroom practicality' -
Nick McGuinn, University of York Students' comments on Teaching
Secondary English: `The book is written in clear, digestible terms,
offering many practical ideas for teaching the key skills and the
wide range of material encountered in the English classroom. .. It
is the kind of book which can be dipped into, which is particularly
useful for people who spend most of their time planning lessons!'
`Teaching Secondary English is a must for student teachers and
NQTs. It is a clear, comprehensive and practical guidebook dealing
not solely with theory and pedagogy, but with the very real issues
facing new teachers today' ` It is clear that Teaching Secondary
English, unlike so many textbooks on the subject, is written by
someone with recent classroom experience and this helps the reader
to trust and respect the advice it purports. I certainly feel it is
grounded in practicalities not "pie in the sky" theory that will
not work in most `real' classrooms!' This book enables English
teachers to implement change and rise to new challenges, while
remaining true to an ethically and socially just position which
provides the rationale for their vocation. The author describes and
evaluates recent changes to English teaching brought about by
initiatives such as the Literacy Strategy, the new `A' levels and
the requirement to focus on spiritual, moral, social and cultural
development. Examples of innovative teaching and learning
strategies are provided throughout. The author helps teachers to
foster keen readers, writers and communicators. He shows how they
can enable their students to acquire skills and knowledge, as well
as to recognize the value of aesthetic experience, emotional
literacy and spiritual and moral response to literature in their
own lives and in their communities. This book is essential reading
for PGCE students as well as practising teachers and all those
involved in English in education.
