Linguistics and the Teacher is a collection of essays by linguists
on different aspects of the relationship between linguistics and
education. All the contributors are united in their belief that
linguistics should be a central element in the education of
teachers, and argue for principled and systematic analysis in the
study of the role of language in learning. The essays range from
theoretical accounts of the nature of language study in teacher
education to practical examples of how linguistics can help the
teacher in such diverse contexts as the assessment of difficulty in
textbooks, the teaching of literature, and analysing children's
writing. The book offers models for analysis, specific syllabus and
course proposals, and, in a key essay, discussion of those areas
relevant to language and learning upon which most linguists would
agree. The collection as a whole presents teachers with all the
materials they need to make informed judgements about what has
hitherto been regarded as a difficult area.
