Book SynopsisWhat is English as a school subject for? What does knowledge look like in English and what should be taught? Making Meaning in English examines the broader purpose and reasons for teaching English and explores what knowledge looks like in a subject concerned with judgement, interpretation and value. David Didau argues that the content of English is best explored through distinct disciplinary lenses â metaphor, story, argument, pattern, grammar and context â and considers the knowledge that needs to be explicitly taught so students can recognise, transfer, build and extend their knowledge of English. He discusses the principles and tools we can use to make decisions about what to teach and offers a curriculum framework that draws these strands together to allow students to make sense of the knowledge they encounter.If students are going to enjoy English as a subject and do well in it, they not only need to be knowledgeable, but understand how to use their knowledTrade Review‘English teachers are hardworking, committed professionals too often given too little time to grapple with the important questions of what it is to be an English teacher and teach the best of English literature. In ‘Making Meaning in English’, Didau explores the past of English teaching, the problematic present, whilst offering an exploration of a better future. He digs in the rich traditions of the discipline, whilst offering teachers practical insights so that they can notice the artful craft of English and turn it into compelling action.’Alex Quigley, Author of Closing the Reading Gap and Closing the Vocabulary Gap‘In this thoughtful and timely book, David Didau identifies all the challenges involved with English curriculum design, which many of us have wrestled with over the years. Through disciplinary practice and substantive knowledge, which he sees shaped by modes of thought such as metaphor, story and pattern, Didau offers a practical means for English teachers to structure their curricula and for students to learn and appreciate the joys of the subject. I only wish this book had been available when I was head of department!’Phil Stock, Deputy Headteacher, Greenshaw High School, Sutton‘This is a book that invites hyperbole and for good reason. Its scope is spectacular, its details delightful and its provocations powerful. The principles it proposes go beyond English and make it an important read for anyone with curriculum responsibilities who is concerned with creating a proper curriculum. Written with considerable erudition and lightness of touch ‘Making Meaning in English’ is truly impressive.’Mary Myatt, Education Adviser and Writer, Author of The Curriculum: Gallimaufry to Coherence‘Making Meaning in English’ is a mature work, and this maturity can be detected in both its quietly meditative tone and the manner in which Didau, perhaps taking heed of Orwell’s ideas about writing, has absented himself from centre stage in order to allow the material to sing. The voice in this text does not feel the need to make any dogmatic assertions of its rightness. It is more grown up than that. What it seeks to do is to quietly inform you of things that you might want to consider about the teaching of English. It is not the ‘looking-for-the-quick-buck’ of the series of implementable techniques but is more a compendium of interesting pieces of information about the subject that is more wistfully entertaining and informative than it is instrumental. It is punctuated with a host of literary quotations that, not only illustrate the points Didau is making but, of themselves, unlock a landscape of thought and image, and it’s replete with interesting things that you had no idea that you needed to know and which caused this English teacher to consider quite deeply his own lack of knowledge in certain areas. It would be very good company indeed on a mazy, yet melancholy, Sunday afternoon sat on a verandah accompanied by wine, and I do not know a single teacher of English, be they NQT or classroom veteran, who would not benefit from reading this.’Phil Beadle, Author of The Facist Painting‘David Didau has written the essential book for every English teacher. It is urgent and important; I've never read anything like it. But it's not a guide on how to teach English. It's a book about making meaning in English and, as David says, it's about reimagining English as a subject concerned primarily with significance. ‘Making Meaning in English’ will challenge you, surprise you, niggle at you, and make you think really hard. As English teachers we're part of an ongoing conversation with our subject; David prompts us to consider how we can guide our children to pull up a chair and join in with the conversation, too.’Claire Stoneman, English Teacher and Writer‘An antidote for a generation of teachers inducted into teaching English through technique-spotting and PEE, this book should be compulsory reading in English departments and ITE courses up and down the land.’Lawrence Foley, Executive Principal, Harris Academy Tottenham‘David Didau is a singular force in education. It is well known that he writes, speaks, coaches and teaches from a position of restless curiosity and relishes capsizing a sacred school totem if it is an obstacle to young people's education. His publications help readers teach with excellence. With this wonderful, insightful and personal book, Making Meaning, you also learn how much he deeply loves literature too. You will already, but at the end you'll have fresh understanding of why you do.’Jude Hunton, Principal, Skegness Grammar School‘David Didau’s ‘Making Meaning in English’ marks a significant, and timely, change in books related to the teaching of English. He looks at an area that has, all too often, been neglected. The knowledge. The ideas. The concepts. Rather than focus on how to teach English, Didau looks at what to teach and when to teach it. What should students learn about? Refreshingly Didau doesn’t polarise aspects in English to knowledge and creativity or traditional and progressive thinking; instead, he explores the key components of English and rationalises what should be taught and why. There are never easy answers in English. Like Van Helsing in Bram Stoker's 'Dracula', Didau is our moral compass in a confusing world where familiar and beloved things have been transformed out of shape and we can, easily, be seduced and bewitched by a powerful, domineering forces like exams. He boldly places a stake through the heart of ‘teaching to the exam’ and reassuringly covers Years 7 through to 11 with garlic. Thankfully, he stops at chopping people’s heads off. The book is much more than a book on English ideas. It is an exploration of literature and its history from someone who loves it dearly. Crammed full of extracts and examples, Didau highlights the beauty and the subtlety of the English language in all its forms. ‘Making Meaning in English’ is the book I wished I had when I started teaching English. And, it is the book I want now as I revise our school’s curriculum and decide what to teach and when to teach it. And, it will be the book I go back to when I start a new topic in English. ‘Making Meaning in English’ is paradigm shift in the teaching of English.’Chris Curtis, Head of English‘Knowing things, in Saul Bellow’s phrase, allows us to open the universe a little more. David’s ambitious mission in this book is to explore what might be a body of knowledge for English, a subject that ironically has too often lacked a convincing narrative for its own existence. Through literature we all must attempt to come to terms with and ‘try on’ a world lived differently, and as teachers, to help students as they start the lifelong process of defining how they see their world. The role of English is to change the way we understand the world around us as well as to unconsciously reinforce the power of Wittgenstein’s assertion that, ‘The limits of my language are the limits of my world’. In this insightful book, David does just that. This involves him approaching a wide variety of texts and dealing with their ambiguities and uncertainties, engaging with moral dilemmas and in turn illustrating the craft of writing. Richard Wright comments in Black Boy that he hungered for books, new ways of looking and seeing. In this book, David delivers this with scalpel like sharpness, skill and humour.’Ian Warwick, Founder & Senior Director, London GTi‘This book is a remarkable achievement. It seeks to relocate the status of literature and English teaching as a vital engine of culture; a noble end in itself rather than a mere preparation for the workplace. It's simply the book I wish I had read when I started teaching English.’ Dr Carl Hendrick, Author of How Learning Happens‘This book is very special. It’s about the beauty of English as an academic discipline whilst also offering a practical guide for teachers of the subject. Making Meaning in English addresses the subject with a nuance and faithfulness that warns against reductionism and instead celebrates and embraces the intricacies of English teaching. This book deserves a place on every English teacher’s bookshelf.’Claire Hill, English Teacher, Trust Vice Principal and Author of Symbiosis: The Curriculum and the Classroom‘English teachers are hardworking, committed professionals too often given too little time to grapple with the important questions of what it is to be an English teacher and teach the best of English literature.

Book SynopsisContent and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is a transformative and powerful approach to language education and has had a significant impact on educational pedagogy in recent years. Despite burgeoning literature on the efficacy and implementation of CLIL, there remains a gap between CLIL and English Language Teaching (ELT). Many practitioners wonder how they can do CLIL' if their main classes are focused on English as a Foreign Language (EFL). This volume addresses these concerns by examining the experiences of various CLIL practitioners in the EFL context of Japan. Chapters outline the CLIL methodology, the differences in hard CLIL' (subject led) and soft CLIL' (language-oriented) before focusing on the EFL interpretations of soft-CLIL. Although the distinction of hard CLIL and soft CLIL has been mentioned in several publications, this is the first book-length exploration of this issue, featuring chapters examining expectations, challenges, material support, implementatiTrade Review"This volume articulates how CLIL has become a tour de force for further developing English language teaching in the Japanese context. Relevant for educators worldwide, it describes key success drivers for applying CLIL across the educational spectrum. Authored by leading experts in the field, the easy-access chapters answer key questions that educators often have when considering if CLIL is possible to implement in their schools, and how to do it successfully. Insights on common strands between theory and practice, and descriptions of how CLIL models can be designed, make this publication a comprehensive and invaluable contribution to the field."-David Marsh PhD, FRSA (Finland)"At a time in CLIL research and pedagogy when it is key to take into account the specificities across contexts and types of CLIL, this excellent book is a unique contribution to the role of CLIL in EFL classrooms. It addresses relevant issues in soft CLIL such as translanguaging, focus on form, materials or assessment, providing a rich source of information for both researchers and educators." -Ana Llinares, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain)Table of ContentsIntroduction—CLIL in Japan: The case for Soft CLIL in the EFL context 1. ‘How would you like your CLIL?’: Conceptualising Soft CLIL 2.

Book SynopsisLiteracy and Growth is a unique genealogical study of English teaching in the UK and abroad since the 18th century. Focusing specifically on the concepts of literacy and growth, this book explores key moments in the development of ideas about English teaching.Hodgson and Harris reveal the Enlightenment forebears of such contemporary concepts as cultural capital and critical literacy; the significance of growth to the writers and social critics who opposed Victorian Utilitarianism; and the 20th-century influences that established English as a humane study, including the Newbolt Report, the Cambridge Scrutiny group, and the London School of Percival Gurrey and James Britton. The authors examine unpublished Dartmouth Conference papers to reconsider John Dixon's construction of growth in his seminal report Growth through English (1967). They reflect on the turbulent aftermath of Dartmouth, the changes in the growth model following the cultural turn

Book SynopsisWhy do poor and minority students under-perform in school? Do computer games help or hinder learning? What can new research in psychology teach our educational policy-makers?In this major new book, Gee tackles the ''big ideas'' about language, literacy and learning, putting forward an integrated theory that crosses disciplinary boundaries, and applying it to some of the very real problems that face educationalists today.Situated Language and Learning looks at the specialist academic varieties of language that are used in disciplines such as mathematics and the sciences. It argues that the language acquisition process needed to learn these forms of language is not given enough attention by schools, and that this places unfair demands on poor and minority students.The book compares this with learning as a process outside the classroom, applying this idea to computer and video games, and exploring the particular processes of learning which take place as a Trade Review'This is a stimulating book ...' - Language IssuesTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisAsk any moderately interested Briton to name a black intellectual and chances are the response will be an American name: Malcolm X or Barack Obama, Toni Morrison or Cornel West. Yet Britain has its own robust black intellectual traditions and its own master teachers, among them C.L.R. James, Claudia Jones, Ambalavaner Sivanandan, Stuart Hall and Paul Gilroy. However, while in the USA black public intellectuals are an embedded, if often embattled, feature of national life, black British thinkers remain routinely marginalized. Black British Intellectuals and Education counters this neglect by exploring histories of race, education and social justice through the work of black British public intellectuals: academics, educators and campaigners. The book provides a critical history of diverse currents in black British intellectual production, from the eighteenth century, through post-war migration and into the âpost-multiculturalâ present, focusing on the sometimes hidden impacts oTrade Review‘This informative monograph surveys the work of black intellectuals in Britain during a period of enormous cultural transformation. Warmington (Univ. of Birmingham, UK) records how issues of race intersected with Marxism, feminism, postmodernism, and post colonialism ... Warmington’s book reveals an often-hidden history of minority intellectuals ... Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students/faculty.' - D. L. LeMahieu, Lake Forest College, in CHOICE, December 2014‘The nature and function of intellectuals has been a central theme in progressive education and remains one of the defining features in writings on social movements. In this book, Paul Warmington joins the luminaries of Gramsci, Fanon, Foucault, and Said in documenting the role of intellectuals, this time within the particular history of Great Britain. The specificity of black British intellectual life captured here provides a powerful portrait of social suffering, generative interpretations of lived conditions, and freedom as both a practical and theoretical endeavor. Warmington is one of only few scholars who could have pulled off such an accomplishment. A book like this has the ability henceforth to set and define a field of study.’ - Professor Zeus Leonardo, University of California at Berkeley, USA‘Warmington provides a much-needed addition to our collective understanding of the politics of race – reminding us that race has been an arena of struggle and a focal point for organising against injustice, not just an occasion to profess identity or proclaim culture. This work will enable new generations to benefit from the important contributions of black radical intellectuals and, I wish and hope, reinvigorate that tradition for our own challenging times.’ - Professor Gargi Bhattacharyya, School of Law and Social Sciences, University of East London, UK‘This landmark study reveals the key role that black intellectuals have played, and continue to play, in shaping the British education system and wider cultural debates. Warmington’s extensive research documents the individuals and movements that have exerted a powerful, but often unrecognised, influence from the Eighteenth Century through to the present, and challenges conventional narratives by demonstrating that black British intellectuals have been a vital and compelling presence at the centre of some of the most important developments in educational theory and practice.’ - Professor David Gillborn, Centre for Research in Race and Education, University of Birmingham, UKTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThe goal of this text is to help teachers explore and define their own positions with regard to key topics and issues related to the aims of education in a democratic society. It explains how reflection is integral to teachers’ work and elaborates how various conceptions of reflective teaching differ from one another.Trade Review “ ... a concise introduction to teacher reflection, examining the foundations and purposes of teachers’ reflective practice in clear, engaging prose. The teacher-based vignettes provide meaningful, practical connections between the act of reflection and the act of teaching.” Melanie Shoffner, Purdue University, USA“Few authors manage to handle the complexity inherent in teaching as accessibly as Zeichner and Liston, without losing any of the nuance and subtlety needed to address these issues. I appreciate the fact that the authors do not attempt to provide recipes, but instead introduce tools to think about the profession that are historically and philosophically grounded.” Daniel Friedrich, Teachers College, Columbia University, USA Table of ContentsCONTENTSSERIES PREFACEIntroductionExamining the Social Conditions of SchoolingUnderstanding and Examining Personal Beliefs about Teaching and SchoolingAbout the Books in this SeriesSeries AcknowledgmentsPREFACE Acknowledgements1.

Book SynopsisAlthough complex problem solving has emerged as a field of psychology in its own right, the literature is, for the most part, widely scattered, and often so technical that it is inaccessible to non-experts. This unique book provides a comprehensive, in-depth, and accessible introduction to the field of complex problem solving. Chapter authors -- experts in their selected domains -- deliver systematic, thought-provoking analyses generally written from an information-processing point of view. Areas addressed include politics, electronics, and computers.Trade Review"...succeeds in providing readable introductions...a major accomplishment. It is very easy to overwhelm readers with the complexity of the tasks and the complexity of the models designed to describe performance on the tasks. Add to this the unfamiliarity of the tasks to many readers and the authors have a major challenge on their hands. They clearly meet the challenge....useful for researchers working within the domain of problem solving as well as for people seeking a basic understanding of this topic."—Contemporary Psychology"...strengthens psychology's claim to new domains and methods in the study of problem solving....if you have been wondering what has been happening recently in the higher end of cognitive psychology, then this book is well worth reading."—American Journal of Psychology"...contains chapters of uniformly high quality that illustrate how cognitive psychology is coming to understand complex problem solving in a wide range of human endeavors. There is a rich offering of methods, findings, and research problems in the areas of reading, writing, and calculation through to problem solving in electronics, legal reasoning, and international relations....Students of problem solving will appreciate the change that this book represents from the earlier experimental work on simple laboratory tasks."—Robert GlaserUniversity of PittsburghTable of ContentsContents: Part I:Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic.K.E.

Book SynopsisThis book explains and demonstrates the teaching strategy of asking learners to construct their own examples of mathematical objects. The authors show that the creation of examples can involve transforming and reorganizing knowledge and that, although this is usually done by authors and teachers, if the responsibility for making examples is transferred to learners, their knowledge structures can be developed and extended. A multitude of examples to illustrate this is provided, spanning primary, secondary, and college levels. Readers are invited to learn from their own past experience augmented by tasks provided in the book, and are given direct experience of constructing examples through a collection of many tasks at many levels. Classroom stories show the practicalities of introducing such shifts in mathematics education. The authors examine how their approach relates to improving the learning of mathematics and raise future research questions.*Based on the authors'' and otherTrade Review"...found this book enlightening and delightful, useful for the teacher and thought provoking for the researcher....one of the most enjoyable and enlightening aspects of the book, namely, the more than sixty mathematical tasks sprinkled between it covers."—International Reviews on Mathematical Thinking"The authors...describe this text as being 'about the teaching strategy of asking learners to construct their own examples of mathematical objects.' They 'show not only can all learners construct mathematical objects, but the act of construction can engage learners who might otherwise be passive and uninterested.' Recommended."—CHOICE"The book is a worthy addition to any library. It will appeal to a diverse audience: Anyone who enjoys the thrill of communicating and sharing the satisfaction of unanticipated discoveries through the act of constructing examples will welcome the book."—Mathematical Thinking and Learning"I have read the book both as a mathematics educator, and, more recently, as a teacher educator. Both I and my students have been constantly surprised, as we read each chapter, at how applicable, fresh, and generative the idea of using learner-constructed examples in the classroom has been....Everyone, from the kindergarten to the high school teacher, and from the special education consultant to the doctoral student, has found ideas to work with, to try, and to challenge and improve their own practices."—Nathalie SinclairMichigan State University"....I found this book enlightening and delightful, useful for the teacher and thought-provoking for the researcher." --Michael N.
