摘要:

AbstractThis article seeks to formulate a coherent view of English which is based on an analysis of pupils' experience of language in its social and cultural setting.

We make the case that a concept of critical literacy, which would be applicable to all texts, should constitute the foundation of the subject.

AbstractThis article is drawn from a report produced for Suffolk schools concerning the factors that seem to underlie success at A level English Literature by able students.

摘要:

AbstractStorytelling is one of the oldest forms of education. The National Oracy Project and the National Curriculum's emphasis on Speaking and Listening have given fresh relevance to this ancient practice. Meanwhile, storytelling as an art form is experiencing a revival in Britain. This article reports on the views of storytellers on children's work with stories, and offers many ideas to teachers on effective ways to tap into the oral tradition.
