At a time when school-based English is in danger of becoming
reductive and mechanistic, the authors of this book reconsider the
fundamental philosophy of English teaching, evaluate current
practice and offer a practical framework for new approaches to
teaching this important subject.
The authors draw on recent initiatives in the area, including
the National Literacy Strategy, but also offer wider perspectives
on the formation and development of both English and English
teaching in a modern society. This will help teachers develop both
a personal philosophy and a critical perspective on the various
traditions of English teaching as well as on current initiatives
and reforms. The book includes:
- provocative quotations from writers, artists and thinkers
- responses to key figures in modern educational thought
- exploration and development of the principle areas,
illuminating key issues, tensions and opportunities
- practical possibilities for classroom practice.
The Art of Teaching Secondary English is a practical and
accessible resource for everyone involved in English teaching.
