Nevin, Christine – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2021
This essay draws from the experience of observing writing practices in English lessons from 2010-2019, to suggest that the influence of education policy during this phase prioritises preparation for examination questions above the imperatives of learner creativity or volition. Through discussion of ways in which the 'high stakes' examination…

This paper explores the effect of grouped and individual seating on the engagement of four boys in small group sessions teaching the English Language GCSE. Observations…

Gilbert, Francis – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2021
This article examines the deeper purposes behind the teaching of creative writing. To extend an analogy created by William Blake in his poem 'The Tyger', its furnaces are examined and its 'deadly terrors' clasped. It re-interprets the different views of teaching English, as drawn up in the United Kingdom's Cox Report. It argues that these views…

Doecke, Brenton – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2021
This autobiographical essay explores the significance that Marxist literary theory has had for me as an English educator. Marxist literary theorists have produced increasingly refined understandings of the formal complexities of literary works, but the reach of such criticism has been limited because they have failed to conceive it as part of a…

Johnstone, Lilith – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2021
This essay explores how and why English teachers, especially women, must unpack and honour the many facets of our autobiography that make up our experiences and identities in classroom practice. Drawing on the work of Jane Miller and Anne Turvey, it starts with a 'moment' with a Year 10 class. It calls for attention to be paid to the intensely…

Wyatt, Mark; Sargeant, Donald – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2021
Nurturing critically engaged and reflective English language teachers is vital if the educational systems they work in are to change dynamically in response to learners' evolving needs. Given that criticality involves constant reflexive questioning of both public discourse and one's own beliefs and assumptions, teacher educators have a…

Hanratty, Brian – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2021
This paper is predicated on an argument for presenting the Irish short story as a statutory recommendation within the A Level English syllabus in Northern Ireland (and also, perhaps, in syllabi set by Examination Boards in other parts of the United Kingdom). Employing a carefully considered literary-critical perspective, the paper offers a…

Al-Issa, Ali – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2021
Historically and as a developing country, the Sultanate of Oman has always been culturally dependent on Britain to plan and implement its English Language Teaching (ELT) and in-service teacher education. This dependency has negatively affected preparing English language teachers with a new global professional identity capable of introducing change…

Marstaller, Mimi – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2020
How do African students who arrive as refugees in the United States navigate a culture and society shaped by the history of slavery? How is their perspective different from that of their American-born peers and do they experience the 'double consciousness' that Dubois described in "The Souls of Black Folk?" This essay examines the…

Mohamud, Libin – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2020
This essay questions the place that conversations about 'race' hold in the English classroom. I hope to reveal the problems that may come with easily dismissing tense and racially charged dialogues about language and identity. I also explore the way classroom talk opens up an opportunity for students to create and contest different meanings and…
