| Summary |
"Educational policy is becoming more concerned with the need to ensure that people leave school or college fully literate. We need good oral communicators in the workplace, and being able to understand and respond to different kinds of language is vital in today's society." "Included here is a detailed and highly readable account of the ways in which language affects every aspect of study - it crosses all subject boundaries, yet it is commonly seen as solely the responsibility of the English teacher to manage this area of the curriculum." "This volume argues persuasively that language is a cross-curricular matter, and that everyone who teaches has the ability to teach language effectively. It draws on reports, research and recent practical experience of those involved in this field. The result is a broad and enlivening body of opinion."--BOOK JACKET |
