Beskrivning

James Britton’s work addresses central educational questions that are as relevant today as they were half a century ago. Britton was the architect of a theory of language and learning which has influenced the thinking and practice of generations of teachers across the anglophone world. This Reader helps teachers and students explore his theories of the relationships between language and thought, between thinking and feeling, the links between unconscious and conscious ways of knowing, and the symbolising nature of language.This carefully curated collection of Britton’s key writings renders his work accessible to today’s students, educators and researchers. Fully annotated chapters explore how his work fuses observation and theory in a remarkable synthesis, and demonstrates the continuities between the early use of language and later, more complex achievements in speaking, listening, reading and writing.All those involved in teacher education and training, including researchers and scholars, will find this a rich and insightful text.

Recensioner i media

James Britton on Education: an Introductory Reader complements the pair of recent volumes, also published by Routledge, which reintroduce for practitioners the work of Lev Vygotsky and which are edited by two of the editors of this volume … The reader shines a light on the historicity of the subject English and opens the road to a pedagogic heritage that trusts imaginative lesson-planning, licenses creative teaching and urges practitioners to reflect seriously on the essentials of practice: principles; relationships; temporality; assessment as against testing; the affective and aesthetic dimensions of learning as well as that of propositional knowledge; and the importance of a teacher who listens.- Patrick Yarke, Forum
