MasterClass in English Education Summary

MasterClass in English Education: Transforming Teaching and Learning by Sue Brindley (University of Cambridge, UK)

MasterClass in English Education draws on international research and practice to present effective and engaging approaches for English teaching, focusing on the skills, knowledge and understanding needed in the classroom. As well as exploring the key modes of English teaching, reading, writing, speaking and listening, the contributors show how a greater understanding of English can be found through drawing together modalities, for example understanding reading through writing. Case studies and classroom examples ensure that it's easy to understand the relevance of the theory in the classroom and links to research and critical texts support readers to develop practice and their professional voice. Topics covered include: - subject knowledge - curriculum - media and technology - pedagogy MasterClass in English Education will be essential reading for all studying the teaching and learning of English of PGCE and Education MEd/MA courses.

MasterClass in English Education Reviews

This is a highly stimulating and refreshing book with contributions from some of the most authoritative voices in the field. It should be essential reading for English teachers; its broad perspective challenges many simplistic assumptions about the nature of English as a subject. * Mike Fleming, Emeritus Professor of Education, Durham University, UK *
This intellectually exhilarating book offers a bracing riposte to those who would seek to confine English within crude, easily assessable categories. The editors have assembled an impressive writing team of international experts who, holding fast to a core belief in the holistic and dialogic nature of their subject, invite readers to reconfigure their practice in order to meet the opportunities and demands of the twenty-first century. * Nicholas McGuinn, Department of Education, University of York, UK *
This book is a celebration and an affirmation of what is important in English, providing a source of inspiration for all English teachers, whether experienced or just starting out on their careers. The book offers a wide-ranging and thought-provoking analysis of the complexities of teaching and learning in English, which, in taking the long view and drawing on historical contexts, provides a focus on intertextuality and making connections rather than compartmentalising the subject into skill sets. The authors draw effectively on case studies to interrogate theoretical approaches through worked classroom practice and present an empowering model of English teaching, which recognises the agency and engagement of the individual pupil as learner, at the heart of the English curriculum. * Carole Page, Senior Lecturer in Education, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK *
