Where English Allsorts and Spotlight on Literacy both offer practical classroom ideas, bringing together key EMC approaches to teaching English, What Matters in English Teaching has a different purpose. Addressed to teachers, it gives an informed, principled - sometimes unashamedly polemical - account of the most important issues in English teaching today, reflecting on and arguing for a particular vision of the subject - its pedagogies, practices and curriculum content.
Drawing and expanding on Barbara Bleiman's thought-provoking and highly influential blogs, this collection addresses the most important issues and concerns facing English teachers, including:
Versions of English - What Is It?
Thinking Big - Big Picture English
Group Work and Dialogic Learning
Teaching the Class Novel
What Do We Mean by Knowledge in English?
Vocabulary
Creativity and Criticality - Reading as a Writer, Writing as a Reader
What's Important in Teaching Poetry
The Responsive English Teacher
