Media Teaching

This book aims to provide a fresh contemporary approach to media education. Fleming's text sets out to chart a detailed map of contemporary media studies and also to show how a busy teacher can move around this map. The text is supported by a range of examples from the classroom, media and other texts and should become a valuable resource for teachers of media studies. Dan Fleming bases his text on both wide teaching experience and a broad knowledge of contemporary media research, with the aim to provide a clear theory of learning that is grounded in actual classroom practice, and includes detailed descriptions of classroom work. His approach is characterized by an argument for a more learner-centred perspective on media teaching. Covering the concepts and the structure of the media Fleming seeks to offer teachers and lecturers a coherent account of the key issues and essential skills of media teaching.
