газета English 02-2012

Very interesting and useful newspaper for those who teach and study English. It's mainly in English so it will be useful not only for Russian-speakers.

Besides in the archive you'll find some extra materials on the topic of the issue

Love as Pedagogy

Love is a necessary ingredient of effective pedagogy, yet to this point there has been a distinct lack of serious theoretical and practical work on the topic. What does it really mean to adopt a loving approach to pedagogy? This book provides a pragmatic and thoughtful treatment of the topic of love as pedagogy, examining the use and role of love in teaching and learning, and providing suggestions on how educators can effectively recognise and use love in their work.
