Why should young people study a subject called English? This question lies at the heart of this fascinating monograph, which brings together the diverse perspectives of many leading thinkers about English and literacy education. This meticulously researched and well-written collection takes as its starting point the importance of the history of the subject in the formation of its constitution and its boundaries. First and foremost, it proposes that questions of aims and values have informed these choices. Equally, it suggests that returning to these educational questions helps us to understand curriculum and pedagogy in complex ways that a simple focus on content and methods neglects. Curriculum and pedagogy bring learners, teachers, institutions and the wider society into the debate.

Towards a New and Constructive Stage

Rethinking English in Schools

Most women want to marry. Men do too, but their desire is more subconscious. They are not as vocal or upfront, and for them the dreamy aspect does not exist. As long as marriage basically survives as a legal union between a man and a woman for life, we have a right to make that choice. Rather than being a strictly private arrangement, marriage is a public commitment; Right To Marry explains why this is so. As part of our culture, we are invited to partake, to enjoy, to participate, to honor, and to join in a well established tradition that is undergoing change and whose existence is under threat. As with all rights, marriage has responsibilities – to us, our spouse, our family and our culture, just to name a few. Is it also right to marry? What are the advantages? For the sake of providing that there be future generations, it is essential. Oh yes, babies can be born without the sanction of marriage. Is this a good idea? Does it lift society? What are the ramifications? What is so special about marriage and why is it worth preserving? Right to Marry examines these questions and with due consideration of your own views, seeks answers. Right to Marry provides clues on how to choose the right spouse if possible. Looking at the vows from the Christian and Jewish faiths, these time honored words, what do they mean, and how do they play out in practical terms in our lives. The book also offers testimony of those marriages that have lasted, endured the hardships and joys inherent in living together, and supplies encouragement to those who can’t see what all the fuss is about. Hopefully you will be open enough to read this book and find your own answers. The book can also help those who have made a mistake and do not want to keep repeating it. Being and staying married, what kind of efforts are necessary? Anyone that has an interest in marriage has the right to read the book and find out why it is right to marry.

This work provides an analysis of how knowledge is constructed and defined by teachers and lecturers in schools and universities/colleges. It considers how everyday uses of reading, writing, numeracy and science are cast aside in favour of academic language and academic discourse, arguing that such discourses are alien to learners' daily experiences and are, therefore, difficult to acquire and adopt.; Chapters examine literacies of English, mathematics and science as practised in and outside schools and colleges. The book is interdisciplinary and multicultural, adopting perspectives from the UK, USA, South Africa, India, Brazil and Kenya. It should be of interest to a wide market of educationalists, including those involved in educational policy making, teacher education, cultural/multicultural studies, development studies, anthropology, and adult and continuing education.
