Reviews for Debates in English Teaching

it brings critical light to bear on the current state of play in the subject...The challenge for the next phase of English as a national and international subject is to continue to argue for its place, not only in the curriculum but in its relevance to everyday life, sensibility and culture. This book does so, with commitment, clarity and power. - Richard Andrews, Professor of Education, University of Edinburgh and Visiting Professor in English Education, University of East Anglia
