Secondary English: Planning for Learning in the Classroom


Add your own review!

Overview

Using their tried-and-tested English Method training, the authors unpack the core learning issues, such as differentiation and the development of thinking skills, essential to all initial teacher training programmes. Linking theory and practice, with direct links to key theorists and ideas about learning, each chapter includes: • A modelled analysis of a pupils' writing or talk on a particular theme • An exploration of the learning challenges within a specific age range or modality of English • Focussed, practical activities centred upon a specific text, including oral, written, visual, multi-modal, print-bound and electronic material • Follow-up activities, including immediate questions for reflection, guided reading and ideas for use in the classroom. This guide will help English teachers, particularly those beginning their careers, to focus upon fundamental principles of planning and learning in the secondary classroom - principles which, no matter how often the details of the curriculum are revised, endure as the bedrock of effective practice.

Reviews

'The authors take a refreshingly new approach to the pedagogy of English here, and succeed in bringing to life aspects of the subject hitherto neglected: a valuable read for anyone interested in the teaching of English.' <br>David Stevens, Subject Tutor for PGCE Secondary English, Durham University, UK


'The authors take a refreshingly new approach to the pedagogy of English here, and succeed in bringing to life aspects of the subject hitherto neglected: a valuable read for anyone interested in the teaching of English.' David Stevens, Subject Tutor for PGCE Secondary English, Durham University, UK 'Based on real situations and real students, Secondary English fuses theory and practice in an engaging, useful and reflective fashion. Definitely one for the reading list.' Amanda Naylor, Course Director for PGCE English, Hull University, UK 'Even after ten years of national strategies, this book offers much to guide new entrants to English teaching through some longer-lived traditions of its thinking and practice.' -- NATE - English Drama Media
