Robert Jean LeBlanc – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2024
This article explores the potential of narrative interest for secondary literature education. Narrative is a purposeful construction which is organised with the intent of having effects on readers. For rhetorical narratologists, narrative is driven by the production of narrative gaps -- suspense, curiosity, and surprise -- which in turn drive…

Tanya Davies; Jack Davis – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2024
In post-invasion Australia, English has been a key instrument of colonisation. English education was tasked with producing subjects both loyal to the Australian nation and the British Empire with little recognition given to people from other languages and cultures, least of all First Peoples. Despite Australia now being considered a successful…

Nash, Brady L. – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2023
Audiobooks have been growing in popularity over the last decade. Although researchers have increasingly recognised the value of audiobooks as rich multimodal texts that support literacy engagement in classrooms, there have been few detailed pictures of classroom practice related to audiobooks. In this practitioner narrative, a secondary English…

Yandell, John – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2023
The 'knowledge turn' in curriculum studies has proved highly influential in the past two decades. But what is meant by knowledge remains both unclear and subject to contestation, particularly in relation to English as a school subject. Two recent books address the knowledge question in very different ways.

Rejan, Andrew – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2023
This narrative inquiry explores the author's attempt to teach Henry James's novella "The Turn of the Screw" in a high school English class, making the celebration of confusion -- in the tradition of John Dewey -- the cornerstone of the experience. The students' interpretive discourse is analysed, prompting reflection on promising…

Illesca, Bella – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2023
This essay uses storytelling as a mode of inquiry to explore how students with languages other than English and with diasporic experiences and identities negotiate a pathway for themselves in a relentlessly Anglophone environment. I share a story that provides a small window into the everyday work of an English teacher in a large, linguistically…

Smith, Lorna; Thomas, Helena; Chapman, Susan; Foley, Joan; Kelly, Lucy; Kneen, Judith; Watson, Annabel – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2022
This paper tells a story of one student teacher's experiences as she considers the choice of fiction texts studied by young secondary learners of English, and how those texts are taught. Based on a series of interviews carried out in the South-West of England and Wales, the narrative provides a perspective on the limitations of current curricula…

Moore, Amber – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2022
Drawing on data from a larger feminist study that explored how secondary English teacher candidates responded to a sexual trauma text set and pedagogy for teaching such narratives with Canadian adolescents, this paper examines how caretaker discourses emerged in response to these stories and learning. This especially manifested as emerging teacher…

Torres-Ryan, Louise – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2022
How does a beginning teacher go about constructing a teacherly identity in a pandemic? How does one reconcile what might be with what is, as dictated by the rhetoric of a neoliberal government, which prizes the individual mind over the collective one, the product over the process, and results over relationships? This essay explores these questions…

Driver, Duncan – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2022
This article investigates the teaching of rhetoric as a discrete discipline within the curriculum of Tudor-era English grammar schools (such as the King's New Grammar School in Stratford-Upon-Avon, where William Shakespeare is believed to have been educated). It examines more recent attempts to advocate for the value of rhetoric as a unifying…

Yandell, John; Mahamed, Faduma; Ziad, Soumeya – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2022
Our starting point is provided by two accounts of observed lessons. The two lessons happened, at more or less the same time, in the same English department in an East London secondary school. Both lessons, observed by the second- and third-named authors, involved the shared reading of the same novel. We are interested in the difference between…

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…

Anderson, Gill; Elms, Benjamin – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2022
Recent reforms to Initial Teacher Education in England are a continuation of a decades-long political project, aiming to change the whole social complex around teachers' professional education. But the most recent frameworks present some new inflections to the construction of learning, pedagogical relationships and difference. Positivist versions…

Talbot, Daniel – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2022
There is a growing consensus that the study of literature in English secondary schools is suffering a crisis: a fixation with knowledge and facts, a loss of creativity, and a denigration of students' own experience, to name a few. This article argues that this is, in part, a result of the conception of culture embedded in the current National…

Price, Vincent – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2022
Having grown up Black in America, the author reflects on his limited exposure to African American literature in school as well as his even more limited opportunity to see himself reflected in the mirrors of those texts. The article then extends into a framework for expanding the inclusion of African American texts in educators' classrooms.…
