Ethical English Summary

Ethical English: Teaching and Learning in English as Spiritual, Moral and Religious Education by Mark A. Pike (University of Leeds, UK)

Ethical English addresses the 'ethos' of English teaching and draws attention to its 'spirit' and fundamental character, identifying the features that English teaching must exhibit if it is to continue to sustain us morally as a liberal art and to provide the learners of increasingly plural societies with a broad ethical education. Mark A. Pike provides practical examples from the classroom, including assessment and teaching, knitting these with an ethical critique of practice, stimulating readers to engage in critical reflection concerning the teaching of English. This book not only shows readers how to teach English but also helps them to critically evaluate the ethics of the practice of English teaching.

Ethical English Reviews

One of the major joys ... of Pike's writing is the range of reference he deploys ... [G]ems such as George Eliot's position on teaching or anecdotes about Coleridge and Wordsworth at waterfalls will all delight English teachers ... [Ethical English] is a thought-provoking book ... [and] certainly something that will get you fired up, make you think, and possibly change your teaching. * Teaching English *
Ethical English is intellectually substantive, enormously helpful to the English teacher and, quite frankly, inspired. The books available on the teaching of English do little to address the telos of the discipline for the student or the teacher. Moreover, they tend to be constrained by ideology or technique. The broad and deep look Pike takes at the teaching of English as a liberal art is both refreshing and provocative. It deserves wide readership both within and outside the university. * Karen Bohlin, Head of School, Montrose School, Massachusetts, USA and author of Teaching Character Education Through Literature *
Literature has huge potential to extend children's horizons and develop their moral imagination, and so it is encouraging to find a book that positions spiritual and moral education at the heart of English teaching. * J. Mark Halstead, Emeritus Professor of Education, University of Huddersfield, UK *
