Beyond the Grammar Wars
Are there evidence-based answers to the broad question "What explicit knowledge about language in teachers and/or students appears to enhance literacy development in some way"? Distinguished by its global perspective, its currency, and its comprehensiveness, Beyond the Grammar Wars: provides an historical overview of the debates around grammar and English/literacy teaching in four settings: the US, England, Scotland and Australia offers an up-to-date account of what the research is telling (and not telling) us about the effectiveness of certain kinds of grammar-based pedagogies in English/literacy classrooms takes readers into English/literacy classrooms through a range of examples of langua...
Developing Writing Teachers
The premise of Developing Writing Teachers is this: When teachers of writing identify as writers, it adds a special dimension to their writing pedagogy. Practical and accessible while drawing on a range of relevant research and theory, this text is distinguished by its dual focus—on teachers as writers and the teaching of writing. Part I addresses the question, What does it take for a teacher of writing to develop an identity as writer? Using case studies and teacher narratives, it guides readers to an understanding of the current status of writing as the 21st century unfolds, the role of expressive writing in developing a writing identity, the relationship of writing to genre and rhetoric...
Critical Discourse Analysis
This introductory text explains the use of critical discourse analysis (CDA) as a research methodology. Beginning with an explanation of the key words and theories behind CDA and how these can be used in research, Terry Locke proceeds to provide a lucid demonstration of the application of these series to both interpretation of print text and the analysis of conversations. The book is an essential guide for students encountering critical discourse analysis for the first time.
Locke
Locke was originally published in two volumes, Epistemology and Ontology. This paperback edition has within its covers the full text of both volumes.
"The Great Ocean of Knowledge"
This book explores the way in which, working within the investigative tradition associated with the Royal Society, the philosopher John Locke (1632-1704) used travellers' reports to develop a form of comparative social anthropology which was to inform his major philosophical works.
Living the Mass
"Living the Mass is a rich and resonant meditation on the Eucharist that will deepen the liturgy for those on both sides of the altar." —Andrew Greeley "We Catholics don't go to Mass; we go back to Mass—from having been 'sent forth' the last time! Grassi and Paprocki explain why, how, and where in this important new book." —Gregory F. A. Pierce, author of Spirituality at Work The concluding prayer of the Mass is a command: Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. We are charged to go forth and quite literally transform our families, our communities, and our world through the redeeming sacrifice of Christ as celebrated in the Mass. Fr. Dominic Grassi and Joe Paprocki use this challenge as the starting point for their inspiring and illuminating look at the central act of Catholic worship. They ask, What would our faith look like if we truly understood the gift of the Eucharist? Living the Mass will stir a new passion for and a greater understanding of this sacred two-thousand-year-old celebration offered freely to all who come, to all who believe.
Twas the Night Before Christmas...in the Caravan Park
Clement Clarke Moore's rhymed tale, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, has won a deserved place in the hearts of children and adults alike. It captures something of the magic of anticipation that characterises the experience of Christmas for many. However, it is a tale, and sadly in a world where the gap between the rich and the poor and the privileged and the marginalised appears to be growing, there are many families for whom this magic, dependent as it is on income, is beyond reach. The 'Caravan Park' in my own tale can be thought of as a symbol of those parts of our world where parents, however loving, are deprived of the means to provide their children with the advantages many of us take for granted. It is also a tale which reminds us that despite the gloom represented by many news headlines, there is kindness aplenty in our world. And as long as this kindness exists, so does the potential for a magic light to shine in dark places.
International Perspectives on English Teacher Development

With contributions from leading scholars around the world, this volume is divided into four sections that follow the journey of an English teacher from being a student, to the latter stages of professional development and becoming a teacher. It sheds light on how different elements such as school culture, professional development, higher-level qualifications, professional associations and government policies contribute or detract from retention and job satisfaction. International Perspectives on English Teacher Development serves as ideal reading for the research and teacher education community along with teachers and student teachers globally.
