English Cluster
Richard Davie, Lecturer from the Centre from Language and Linguistics from CCCU has offered to host an English Cluster after half term. The cluster meeting will take place on Monday 15 November from 4:30 – 5:30 online (please feel free to join late if your timetable does not allow you to be there on the dot of 4:30 as we would love to have all schools represented). Please do share this invitation with colleagues from your department, it is a great chance to share ideas, resources and experience and network amongst our group of 11 partners. You can sign up here.
Please let me know any items for the agenda. In addition Richard will lead the following section, with a view possibly to a conference day in the future:
English has an image problem: What can we do about it?
Some teachers (and university lecturers) have been glancing nervously into the future wondering if their subject, as a post-GCSE choice, will dwindle into near-extinction, alongside the Latin masters of generations past. But we know the fact of the central importance of communication, and the host of issues (social, ethical, psychological, cultural) around it, plus its value to later citizenship & employability, make it a very significant subject.
