Teaching English So It Matters

Book excerpt: This is a clear presentation of the rationale and steps required by an English teacher to develop a thinking, meaning-centred curriculum. The first part of the book studies the development of the co-creative classroom in which the students participate in curriculum development. Issues tackled include classroom management and assessment of student work. The second part comprises individual units of instruction, complete with daily lesson plans, selected readings and student worksheets. The volume will have a broad appeal to both teachers and high school students.
