Hunt, Rosie – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2022
Qualitative practitioner research undertaken by teachers in schools is a vital means of developing pedagogy and practice, one that is under-valued in today's educational climate. This essay explores representations of students in qualitative studies, which, I argue, necessarily transform student participants into 'characters' within the…

Tarpey, Paul – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2021
In this article I reflect on the early formation of my professional identity and practice.

Gannon, Susanne – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2012
This paper explores the metaphor of the classroom as a "crucible" for early professional learning where beginning teachers forge professional identities in complex, unpredictable, paradoxical, affectively and physically potent contexts of practice. It works into the dissonances and contradictions of the micro-narratives embedded in the…

Johnstone, Patrick – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2011
This article considers questions surrounding the teaching of writing "from different cultures and traditions", in the context of debates over multiculturalism in Britain today, and contends that English teachers have a vital role to play in the survival and flourishing of multicultural British society. In view of the self-consciously…
