Like the popular first edition, it balances content knowledge with methodology, theory with practice, and problem-posing with suggested solutions. The tone and format are inviting, while addressing student-readers on a professional level. Rather than attempting to cover everything, the text provides a framework and materials for teaching a secondary English methods course, while allowing considerable choice for the instructor. The focus is on teaching literature, writing, and language--the basics of the profession. Attention is given to the issues that arise as one seeks to explore what it means to \"teach English.\" The problems and tensions of becoming a teacher are discussed frankly, in a manner that helps students figure out their own attitudes and solutions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e * Focuses on a few central concepts in the teaching of secondary English\u003cbr\u003e * Provides an anthology of 22 readable and challenging essays on key topics--allowing students to hear a variety of voices and opinions\u003cbr\u003e * Includes an applications section for each reading that extends the discussion and asks students to explore problems and grapple with important issues related to the articles \u003cbr\u003e * Offers short writing assignments in questions that follow the readings and in brief writing tasks in the applications, and a longer writing assignment at the end of each chapter \u003cbr\u003e * Addresses student readers directly without talking down to them \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNew in the Second Edition:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e * This edition is shorter, tighter, and easier to use. \u003cbr\u003e * The opening and concluding chapters more directly address the concerns of new teachers. \u003cbr\u003e * The anthology is substantially updated (of the 22 articles included, 14 are new to this edition). \u003cbr\u003e * Each essay is preceded by a brief introduction and followed by questions for further thought. \u003cbr\u003e * There are fewer applications, but these are more extensive and more fully integrated within the text. \u003cbr\u003e * A writing assignment is provided at the end of each chapter. \u003cbr\u003e * Interviews with college students--before and after student teaching--are included in Chapters 1 and 6. \u003cbr\u003e * The bibliographies at the end of each chapter are fully updated.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54235135770968,"sku":"9781138141605","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138141605_887c8726-00c8-4f60-a378-2208506198ce.jpg?v=1777260655","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/teaching-secondary-english","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
