Editorial
Michael Morgan comes down irmly on the side of using
language classes to introduce serious issues and to
awaken the social consciences of our students. He inds
Psi’s
Gangnam Style
video a useful device for discussion
of materialism and supericiality in society.
Editorial
S
everal articles in this issue consider the nature of
teaching and what exactly English teachers are
trying to achieve. Should we take the view that we
are being paid simply to improve our students’ ability in
English and nothing else, or are there other agendas,
covert or overt, that also play an important part in our
role as language teachers?
And if the students are to be socially aware, why not the
teachers, too? Tessa Woodward explains what she has
learnt professionally from campaigning for an issue
about which she feels very strongly. She exhorts other
teachers to embrace a cause dear to their hearts and
helps them to learn from the experience of trying to do
something about it.
In our main feature, Eric Atkinson wonders about the
correct measure of successful English teaching. Is it to
produce luent English speakers with near-native ability?
If so, then many of us are certainly failing. If there is
something else going on along the way – such as the
teaching of other skills of educational value and the
development of our students as people – then the ability
of most students to get beyond an intermediate level in
English should not be seen as a teaching failure.
If you would like to add
your
voice to the discussion,
there is now a comment facility under the articles
on our website. Let us know what you think!
Mandana Arfa Kaboodvand addresses an issue I have
long hoped to see discussed in this magazine – whether
it is the English teacher’s remit to ‘save the world’, in
terms of teaching students to be better citizens, more
environmentally aware, more morally sound, etc. If so,
whose values are we to promote, and what happens
when they are at odds with those of the students’
culture? And why English teachers? Why not social
science teachers or geography teachers?
