Teaching English Literature 16 - 19 is an essential new resource that
is suitable for use both as an introductory guide for those new to
teaching literature and also as an aid to reflection and renewal for
more experienced teachers. Using the central philosophy that students
will learn best when actively engaged in discussion and encouraged to
apply what they have learnt independently, this highly practical new
text contains:
- discussion of the principles behind the teaching of literature at this
level;
- guidelines on course planning, pedagogy, content and subject
knowledge;
- advice on teaching literature taking into account a range of broader
contexts, such as literary criticism, literary theory, performance,
publishing, creative writing and journalism;
- examples of practical activities, worksheets and suggestions for
texts;
- guides to available resources.
Aimed at English teachers, teacher trainees, teacher trainers and
advisors, this resource is packed full of new and workable ideas for
teaching all English literature courses.
