Teaching English



March 2009 | 232 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd

 Reflective practice is at the heart of effective teaching, and this book helps you develop into a reflective teacher of English. Everything you need is here: guidance on developing your analysis and self-evaluation skills, the knowledge of what you are trying to achieve and why, and examples of how experienced teachers deliver successful lessons.

 

The book shows you how to plan lessons, how to make good use of resources and how to assess pupils' progress effectively. Each chapter contains points for reflection, which encourage you to break off from your reading and think about the challenging questions that you face as a new teacher.

 

The book comes with access to a companion website, www.sagepub.co.uk/secondary , where you will find:

 

- Videos of real lessons so you can see the skills discussed in the text in action

- Links to a range of sites that provide useful additional support

- Extra planning and resource materials.

 

If you are training to teach English this book will help you to improve your classroom performance, by providing you with practical advice, but also by helping you to think in depth about the key issues. It also provides examples of the research evidence that is needed in academic work at Masters level, essential for anyone undertaking an M-level PGCE.

'My entry into the teaching profession would have been a whole lot easier if I'd had access to this text. This book is both informative and deeply sane. Intelligent, practical and eminently sensible, and it will help to guide many a beginning teacher through their first few years in the profession -

The evidence base used through out the book is fantastic and gives me real confidence in everything that is said. As a result I feel that I have enhanced my teaching skills in the classroom, would recommend to anyone with an interest in teaching English or for those that already do.

This book is presented as a collection of 10 discrete chapters. Although most of the chapters are very interesting and there are some excellent ideas, the book is not ideal as core course book. Some areas of English teaching are not covered and it is not really structured as one would expect for a course book. Nevertheless, I'd definitely recommend it as a supplemertary book.
