Part of Phil Beadle's How to Teach Series
With revised GCSE and A level qualifications, and their renewed emphasis on rigorous, challenging approaches to the English literary canon, this has to be an ideal time to rethink the way English literature is taught. How do we make these novels, plays and poems come alive for students without selling them short? What strategies could we use to maximise and expedite attainment whilst preserving a fervour for the subject? From Year 7 all the way through to Year 13 and beyond, students have the right to access the very best of our literary world, regardless of their starting point. English Literature explores a multitude of ways to help ensure that this is an entitlement students receive in spades.
James Stafford is an iconoclastic maverick with a gift for inspiring teenagers to discover the joys of English Literature in all its forms, James is a talented teacher, a former security industry professional and bodyguard to Michael Jackson; it's been a funny few years. He shouts Sterne at kids. That and Wu Tang.
