Educational policy is often dismissed as simply rhetoric and a
collection of half truths. However, this is to underestimate the
power of rhetoric and the ways in which rhetorical strategies are
integral to persuasive acts. Through a series of illustrative
chapters, this book argues that rather than something to be
dismissed, rhetorical analysis offers a rich and deep arena in
which to explore and examine educational issues and practices. It
adopts an original stance in relation to contemporary debates and
will make a significant contribution to educational debates in
elucidating and illustrating the pervasiveness of persuasive
strategies in educational practices.
Rhetoric and Educational Discourse is a useful resource for
postgraduate and research students in education and applied
linguistics. The book will also be of interest to academics and
researchers in these fields of study and those interested in
discursive approaches to research and scholarship.
