At a time when school-based English is becoming reductive and mechanistic, the authors of this book reconsider the fundamental philosophy of English teaching, evaluate current practice and offer a practical framework for new approaches to teaching this important subject.
The authors draw on recent initiatives in the area, including the National Literacy Strategy, but offer also wider perspectives on the formation and development of both English and English teaching in a modern society. This will help teachers develop both a personal philosophy and a critical perspective on the various traditions of English teaching as well as on current initiatives and reforms. The book includes:
* Provocative quotations from writers, artists and thinkers
* Responses to key figures in modern educational thought
* Exploration and development of the principle areas, illuminating key issues, tensions and opportunities
* Practical possibilities for classroom practice
The Art of Teaching Secondary English is a practical and accessible resource for everyone involved in English teaching.

Intercultural learning is beginning to influence English Language Teaching. This accessible book introduces teachers of EFL to intercultural language education by describing its history and theoretical principles, and by giving examples of classroom tasks.

This action research study examines the learning experiences of Year 8 students and their teacher as they negotiate aspects of their English classes. The study takes place in a regional Catholic co-educational secondary college in Victoria, Australia. The question of understanding the lived experience of ourselves and other is fundamental to this study, which is situated within an holistic, enactivist view of the world. From this perspective learning is a shared activity in which students participate in creating their own interpretation as they interact with others to bring forth understanding.

This text provides a basic grounding in English grammar, without going into too much detail or theory. Exercises are provided at the end of each chapter, and the book includes integrated diagrams and a glossary of technical terms.
