      "This book is for teachers of 'A' level English looking for ways to incorporate new teaching and learning styles and cross-curricular themes into classroom work. It will also be useful to teachers of English who are being encouraged to diversify into the increasingly popular area of Communications." "The authors define 'entitlement' in terms of processes (the development of students' confidence and autonomy as learners) and content (material which invites an informed and critical response to society). The first part of the book is concerned with 'A' level English literature and explores a variety of teaching and learning styles and a range of socially relevant issues that can be accommodated within English literature texts. Part Two concentrates on Communications Studies and shows how students gain confidence, independence and 'grasp' upon the world through the course and its assessed tasks." "The emphasis of the book is practical, and at every stage of their argument the authors provide examples of successful classroom practice which could readily be adapted to the needs of any English Department."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
