Issues in English Teaching invites primary and secondary teachers of English to engage in debates about key issues in subject teaching. The issues discussed include: *the increasingly centralised control of the curriculum, assessment, and pedagogy in the school teaching of English in England and Wales as a result of initiatives such as the National Literacy Strategy *new technologies which are transforming pupils' lived experience of literacy or literacies *the accelerating globalisation of English and the independence of other versions of English from English Standard English. A National Curriculum with a nationalist perspective on language, literacy and literature cannot fully accommodate English *what has become 'naturalised' and 'normalised' in English teaching, and the educational and ideological reasons for this *hierarchies that have been created in the curriculum and pedagogy, identifying who and what has been given low status, excluded or marginalised in the development of the current model of English. Issues in English Teaching will stimulate student teachers, NQTs, language and literacy co-ordinators, classroom English teachers and aspiring or practising Heads of English, to reflect on the identity or the subject, the principles and policies which, have determined practice, and those which should influence future practice.

Student teachers have always worked with professionals during their teaching practice, but as teacher training becomes more school based, the role of the mentor has become much more important. Even newer is the emergence of the subject mentor. This book is an examination of the nature of effective mentoring and its contribution to student teacher development. Part One of the book has a broad perspective and looks at policy developments and the differing approaches to teacher education. Part Two explores central issues which have emerged in the author's research with mentors. It identifies tendencies in subject mentoring which characterise the work of subject mentors in schools, and key aspects of mentoring are examined, such as collaborative teaching, observation and the practice of discursive mentoring. eBook available with sample pages: 020344129X

This is an irreverent outsider's view of Ireland and its language,
landscape and society. The author also reflects on Canada from his
temporary exile.
Margaret Atwood enjoys a unique prominence in Canadian letters.
With over thirty books to her credit, in genres ranging from
children's writing to dystopic novels, she is as creatively diverse
as she is internationally acclaimed. Her success, however, has been
double-edged: the very popularity that makes her such a prominent
figure in the literary world also renders her vulnerable to claims
of being a 'sell-out', as she relates in her Empson lectures. "The
Open Eye" negotiates the space between these positions,
acknowledging Atwood's remarkable achievement while considering how
it impacts on national politics and identity. The range of
perspectives in this volume is stimulating and enlightening. "The
Open Eye" begins with a focus on Atwood as she presents herself and
is presented in Canada and abroad, and then proceeds to consider,
more broadly, the intersection of life and literature that Atwood's
works and persona effect. It offers fresh insight into Atwood's
early writing, redresses the critical void regarding her poetry and
shorter prose pieces, and provides a critical base from which
readers can assess Atwood's most recent novels. A common thread
throughout these essays is the recognition of Atwood's importance
in the literary realm in general, and in Canadian literature more
particularly.
"At the Speed of Light There is Only Illumination" collects a dozen
re-evaluative essays on Marshall McLuhan and his critical and
theoretical legacy; from intellectual adventurer creating a complex
architecture of ideas to cultural icon standing in line in Woody
Allen's Annie Hall. Given McLuhan's prominent status in many
academic disciplines, the contributors reflect a multi-disciplinary
background. John Moss and Linda Morra chose the essays from a
gathering of McLuhan's academic devotees. The contribution - from
"McLuhan as Medium" and "McLuhan in Space" to "What McLuhan Got
Wrong" and "Trouble in the Global Village" - to provide a
kaleidoscope of new views. As Moss writes of the collected essays:
"Some are big and some are small, some exegetic and some
confessional, some stand as major statements and others are
sidelong glances; some resonate with the concerns of public
discourse and others are private or privileged or impious and
provocative. Each consists of many parts, each a design on its own.
They speak to each other...they may have come together as one
version of what happened."
Celtic Places' are typified by some several hundred townships and
villages whose names still bear the imprint of their earliest
Celtic roots, but the scope of the book is not restricted to human
settlements; it is also true of the many mountains and rivers that
they named, and to several thousand sites of standing stone
monuments, Celtic high crosses, henges, hill figures, funeral
barrows and hillforts, which are all included in the book. What
they all have in common is that they reflect the rich cultural
heritage that was implicit in the names of places in the British
Isles and Ireland as it existed before the Romans arrived.
For better or worse, what we are is often determined by our family;
the events that occurred many years before we were born, and the
choices that were made by our forebears are our inheritance - we
are the inexorable product of family history. So it is with
nations. The history of Great Britain has been largely defined by
powerful and influential families, many of whose names have come
down to us from Celtic, Danish, Saxon or Norman ancestors. Their
family names fill the pages of our history books; they are
indelibly written into the events which we learned about at school.
Iconic family names like Wellington, Nelson, Shakespeare, Cromwell,
Constable, De Montfort and Montgomery there are innumerable others.
They reflect the long chequered history of Britain, and demonstrate
the assimilation of the many cultures and languages which have
migrated to these islands over the centuries, and which have
resulted in the emergence of our language. This book is a snapshot
of several hundred such family names and delves into their
beginnings and derivations, making extensive use of old sources,
including translations of The Domesday Book and The Anglo-Saxon
Chronicles, as well as tracing many through the centuries to the
present day.
