(What is this?)Product Description
Product Description
From the Back Cover
Offering a fascinating and enlightening read, English in Urban Classrooms is a ground-breaking text that spans a range of issues central to contemporary school English. It extends not only to the spoken and written language of classrooms, but also to other modes of representation and communication that are important in English teaching. This includes image, gesture, gaze, movement, and spatial organisation.
The team of experienced and expert authors collectively examine how English is shaped by policy, by institutions, and by the social relations of the classroom. By connecting issues of policy and social context, the book provides a detailed account of factors such as:
* the characteristics of urban multi-cultural schools
* teacher formation and tradition
* the ethos of school English departments
* the institutional changes that have shaped school English in urban classrooms
* students' experiences of learning.
This is not only of interest to those involved in English teaching, but also to educational researchers, policy-makers, linguists, and those interested in semiotics and multi-modality.
In the project on which this book is based we posed two questions: one about the school subject English, the other about a way of looking at English in the classroom. Read the first page Browse Sample Pages
