Product Description
Product Description
Becoming a Reflective English Teacher builds firm bridges between theory and practice, exploring how these can be brought together to create powerful contexts for teaching and learning across the broad spectrum of elements of the English secondary curriculum. By combining both theoretical and practical dimensions, the book enables you to reflect meaningfully on the processes and impact of your teaching.
In a structured and practical way this book introduces you to the paradigmatic and theoretical issues underpinning English teaching. Through its focus on the significant aspects of the role of the English teacher, the book enables you to consider not just the practice of English, but also a range of historical, social policy and theoretical perspectives relating to the development and formulation of English as a subject. Overall the book provides a detailed understanding of the major foundations of English as an academic discipline, as well as what this means for your teaching. Key features include:
- Professional reflection –targeted reflective activities
- M level tasks –designed to help develop strong and meaningful connections between academic and practical components of the teacher’s role
- Into Practice –opportunities to think about the practical application of material in the book
Contributors: Angella Cooze, Robert Fisher, Jenny Grahame, Bethan Marshall, Jo McIntyre, Debra Myhill, Vicky Obied, Maggie Pitfield, Richard Quarshie, Gary Snapper, Linda Varley, Annabel Watson, Paula Zwozdiak-Myers

Incredibly dull and tedious, pointless and a waste of my money.
Unfortunately if you are embarking on a PGCE at Brunel it is vital, as this is written by the course instructor. Most lectures are on chapters from the book, and he loves to hear himself being quoted, so a must if you wish to get ahead in the course, and you'll gain extra marks by using it in your assignments.

I am glad I borrowed this book instead of paying for it. It would have been a waste of money had I bought it from the dollar bin.
It is long on outdated theory and short on practical application. They took the time to make graphics, but every single one is the exact same. Center point with 4 points. It was nice seeing some change from diamond shape to square though (not really).
The only market this book might appeal to is a crusty demographic of tenured high school English teachers who are completely disconnected from this century.
