About this product
Product Information
English and Its Teachers offers a historical overview of the development of secondary English teaching in schools over the past 50 years. Initially charting the rise of a new progressive approach in the 1960s, the book then considers the implications for the subject and its teachers of three decades of central policy intervention. Throughout, document and interview data are combined to construct a narrative that details the fascinating and, at times, turbulent history. The book is divided into two main parts - 'The age of invention' and 'The age of intervention'. The first of these sections details how innovative English teachers and academics helped to develop a new model. The second section explores how successive governments have sought to shape English through policy. A final part draws comparisons with the teaching of the subject in other major English-speaking nations and considers what the future might hold. English and Its Teachers is a valuable resource for those interested in the teaching of English in secondary schools, from new entrants to the profession, to experienced teachers and academics working in the sector.

Reviews
'If you want to know about English teaching in the last fifty years this is the book to read. Simon Gibbons takes you from the landmark Dartmouth Conference, in 1966, in the States, to the present day in a comprehensive but ever readable way. Inevitably he highlights key moments, such as the strike against the SATs in the early nineties but he layers the fifty years of history with interviews with some of the key players and this makes it all the more interesting and offers a unique perspective.' - Dr Bethan Marshall , Senior Lecturer in English in Education, King's College London 'This is a bold, clear and comprehensive description of the principal schools of thought, professional developments, political struggles and key events in English teaching in England over 50 years. It will be a standard read for anyone interested in what English has been, is now and could be in the future.' - John Richmond , English advisor, part of the National Writing Project, Language in the National Curriculum Project and schools television.

- 6***6 (72)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis delivery was earliest date! Condition, value, quality - all as described. (My mistake was not requiring the publishing date to be 1958. This was 1977.) This IS a Viking Portable Library copy of Dante's Divine Comedy in English, translated by Laurence Binyon, but it is with a cover DIFFERENT from what was shown. The tracking number was listed as from "UPS", but should have been listed as from "USPS." Contact with this seller alleviated tracking issues. I recommend this seller! Thank you!

- 6***t (481)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchasePurchasing form this company can at times be frustrating due to items never arriving, very low shipping time and the inability to track the items. But I gave them another chance and purchased many maps and books over the past few months and have received all of them. Last year, it was hit and miss. All items were in the condition as described. Packaging is minimal. The only downside is extremely slow shipping. I rate them a C+. Nothing to gloat about but eventually you will get what you wanted.
