| Summary |
This book is an introduction to all aspects of language work in the National Curriculum. Written in the wake of seemingly permanent revolution in educational policy, it is the first to offer a considered analysis of change, a critique of policy and a guide to good practice for teachers. It explores the roles in schools of English (both Language and Literature), Foreign Language Teaching, and associated activities like Drama and Media Education. Specific attention is paid to the acquisition of literacy, to knowledge about language and to bilingual education. The book provides a comprehensive introduction for teachers in training and a source of update for those already in the profession. Based on the research and development work of Southampton University's Centre for Language in Education, it outlines a coherent and principled language policy for schools |
