Teaching English in Secondary Schools by John Gordon

Teaching English in Secondary Schools by John Gordon

This guide for anyone training to become a secondary English teacher includes a lesson feedback case study in each chapter combined with research findings to explore and analyse what underpins quality English teaching, all in line with the 2014 curriculum.

This inventive and engaging book explores different facets of English teaching by focusing each chapter around a particular lesson and how it was taughtCrucially, this makes the links between theory and practice transparent, showing clearly how the debates, principles and values that underpin teaching can be manifested in the classroom. Teachers will find it particularly valuable for helping them to understand, reflect on and critically evaluate their teaching – central components of teacher education and development. 

-- Annabel Watson
Drawing on lesson plans to prompt discussions is a great starting point, supporting readers in considerations of different teaching and learning strategies. The text is rooted in actual classroom practice, and this opens up wider debates about approaches to English education.  -- Karen Lockney

This thought-provoking and pertinent new book takes a deep and critical look at classroom experiences and the teaching of specific lessons. This is an extremely useful approach that will support English teachers to reflect critically upon their own practice and engage with the complexities of teaching their subject. 

-- Vicky Macleroy
