Secondary English: Planning for Learning in the Classroom

`The authors take a refreshingly new approach to the pedagogy of English here, and succeed in bringing to life aspects of the subject hitherto neglected: a valuable read for anyone interested in the teaching of English.' David Stevens, Subject Tutor for PGCE Secondary English, Durham University, UK

`Based on real situations and real students, Secondary English fuses theory and practice in an engaging, useful and reflective fashion. Definitely one for the reading list.' Amanda Naylor, Course Director for PGCE English, Hull University, UK

This guide will help English teachers, particularly those beginning their careers, to focus upon fundamental principles of planning and learning - principles which, no matter how often the details of the curriculum are revised, endure as the bedrock of effective practice.
