Language Awareness at School: A Practical Guide for Teachers and School Leaders
Autor Tim Marr, Steve Collinsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 mai 2023
Written in collaboration by an academic linguist and an experienced teacher, this essential book combines professional experience and academic expertise to demonstrate how a language-aware approach to education has the potential to transform both whole-school policy and classroom practice.
Chapters explore such questions as the misconceptions surrounding the use of ‘Standard English’, teachers’ and students’ local accents, the development of cross-curricular speaking and writing skills and how to reinvigorate Modern Foreign Languages. This book also works to undo damaging prejudices about how students speak, instead highlighting opportunities to encourage students to notice, examine and debate language issues.
Language Awareness at School is a crucial read for all teachers, trainee teachers and school leadership teams who want to make more informed decisions regarding language issues in schools.

Recenzii
'It’s refreshing to read such a coherent and informed vision of what language teaching can and should look like in our schools – be it in English classrooms, foreign language lessons or across the whole curriculum. Not a gap or a deficit in sight! Instead, Marr and Collins offer and exemplify a compelling argument for the kind of language-informed practice that will benefit students everywhere.
I’d recommend this book to all teachers looking to raise their own language awareness. School leaders, in particular, will find it an invaluable resource to help them navigate a path that moves schools beyond misleading and damaging gap and deficit narratives.'
Andrew McCallum, Director of the English and Media Centre, London
'Drawing on a range of historical and recent research and using a number of topical and well-presented examples, Marr and Collins examine debates about the use of Standard English, zero-tolerance approaches to language use through word bans, misconceptions such as ‘correct English’, the place of linguistics in the English curriculum, and the value of learning languages other than English. The book offers a very useful reference point for teachers interested in developing their own linguistic knowledge in order to make their classrooms more inclusive, and for middle and senior leaders looking to raise language awareness at whole-school level.'
Marcello Giovanelli, Reader in Literary Linguistics, Aston University, UK
'A precise balance of linguistic principles and practical direction, this highly readable work convincingly shows that literacy must go hand-in-hand with language awareness. A strong command of these skills forms the gateway to social mobility, and our young people deserve nothing less. If only this inspiring book had been available at the start of my career, it would have saved me years of experimentation.'
