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.

    Excellent seller. Package was delayed ( by bad weather) and then misplaced at PO( placed in wrong box #) but I contacted the seller and they responded quickly and I got my item today. This seller went the extra mile and I would highly recommend them and will shop here again. I also want to say the price for this complete hard to find item was way below most of the other listings. Condition was good as stated, and although I've only watched the first disc it's quality is good. Thank you!!

    Item arrived as described and was a fair value for price paid. It felt like it took forever to arrive, based on the listing info I wasn’t expecting this item to ship from outside of the US BUT based upon the shipping information it appears it had. So it took several weeks for this small, light item to arrive. Which seemed odd due to it being small and light and easy to package to ship, it was pretty annoying. When it did finally arrive it started to make more sense that it was shipped low priori
