Description: Where English Allsorts and Spotlight on Literacy both offer practical classroom ideas, bringing together key EMC approaches to teaching English, What Matters in English Teaching has a different purpose. Addressed to teachers, it gives an informed, principled - sometimes unashamedly polemical - account of the most important issues in English teaching today, reflecting on and arguing for a particular vision of the subject - its pedagogies, practices and curriculum content. Drawing and expanding on Barbara Bleiman's thought-provoking and highly influential blogs, this collection addresses the most important issues and concerns facing English teachers, including: Versions of English - What Is It? Thinking Big - Big Picture English Group Work and Dialogic Learning Teaching the Class Novel What Do We Mean by Knowledge in English? Vocabulary Creativity and Criticality - Reading as a Writer, Writing as a Reader What's Important in Teaching Poetry The Responsive English Teacher.

  • Waterstones Experiencing English Literature

    Price: £24.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: What does it mean to experience a work of literature? What role does response play in the creation of literary meaning? And what matters - really matters - in the teaching of English Literature? In this book, Andrew Atherton offers a powerful and timely account of the vital role that student response plays in the English Literature classroom. This text is deeply immersed in the disciplinary traditions and legacies of what it has meant to experience English Literature, both for its teachers and students. As the English teaching community try to move beyond exam-driven responses, highly restrictive essay structures and explicit teaching of interpretation, this innovative text helps teachers to encourage responses from students that are more authentic and co-constructed. It contains dedicated chapters for teaching novels, plays and poetry as well as generative writing, sentence-level analysis and essay structure. Each chapter is furnished with a wealth of ideas, routines and activities, all ready to be embedded directly into the classroom. This book will play a key role in this continuing rejuvenation of an experience of English Literature that places a premium on student response and how to shape it. Experiencing English Literature remains actionable and practical, written first and foremost for teachers. It will be essential reading for any KS3/4/5 teacher of English Literature as well as Senior Leaders seeking to better understand the disciplinary traditions of English Literature.

  • Waterstones Must do better: How to improve the image of teaching and why it matters

    Price: £8.00

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: We have a serious problem with the image of teaching in this country. In the eyes of many, teaching is not truly a profession akin to other professions. In the popular imagination, it is not on a par with medicine, law or accountancy, engineering, architecture or business. It is not held in the same esteem as careers which are of equivalent importance to society. Must do better challenges this damaging and pernicious status quo. It examines the origins of our problem with teaching, it shines a light on the exciting reality of teaching in the 21st century, and it charts a new course for the image of the modern teaching profession. The book is written to be easily read by the general reader, because ultimately it is with the general reader - the parent, the employer, the politician - that lies the power to effect the change that society needs. We can and we must change the image of teaching for the better. Waterstones Must do better: How to improve the image of teaching and why it matters - shop the best deal online on thebookbug.co.uk
