Developing Language and Literacy in English across the Secondary School Curriculum

More about the book

Focusing on language and literacy, the book explores how UK secondary schools can effectively integrate grammar and metalanguage into their curricula. Based on research conducted in three diverse schools, it highlights the benefits of emphasizing linguistic structures for all students, particularly those with English as a second language and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. The author advocates for a socially just and democratic approach to education, making this work a valuable resource for applied linguists, educators, and policy makers seeking to connect theory with practice.
