An accessible and engaging introduction to English teaching in the primary school, which addresses contemporary issues such as assessment without levels, creativity and mastery teaching. The discussion is enriched and strengthened by practical examples and references to research, with key concepts and terminology clearly explained. * Kate Allott, Senior Lecturer, School of Education, York St John University, UK * This book provides many windows of opportunity, where new practitioners are able to learn how to secure their Primary English teaching. Whether this is by adopting a creative, or cooperative approach, developing knowledge of promoting effective Speaking and Listening or securing the skills of the four modes of language. Each chapter enlightens the reader further. * Megan Stephenson, Senior Lecturer in Primary English, Leeds Trinity University, UK. * A clear and succinct introduction to primary English -- Emily Phipps-Morgan, Senior Lecturer in Education, Bath Spa University, UKMore details
