Reviews / Votes
'Approaches to textual analysis are well described, and activities, pegged to specific examples in the text, are helpful in showing how to apply analysis ... teachers will undoubtedly find some of the descriptions of Institutions, theory or study skills useful supplements to their own teaching.' - The English and Media Magazine'Succeeds in achieving a depth and a lightness of touch: the section on media audiences, for example is excellent.' - Dan Fleming, Times Higher Education Supplement
