Show notes for Episode 53

Here are the show notes for Episode 53, an episode aimed primarily at teachers, in which Jacky and Dan talk to Steve Collins (Head of English at Bishop Luffa School, Chichester) and Tim Marr (Visiting Professor at Icesi University, Cali, Colombia) about the ideas in their book, Language Awareness at School: A Practical Guide for Teachers and School Leaders, published in May 2023 by Routledge, including:

  • The importance of language education across the curriculum

  • Why language matters to each of them

  • Why zero tolerance approaches and deficit models help no one 

  • Why debates about English teaching keep appearing in cycles every few decades

  • What can be done to revive the prospects of English Language across the secondary and A-level stages and into university and teacher training.
