Harold Rosen : Writings on Life, Language and Learning, 1958-2008 (Paperback)

Harold Rosen was a leader of thought in the world of English teaching in the second half of the twentieth century. He and his colleagues forged and sustained a new understanding of the purpose and possibilities of the subject English within the school curriculum. Beyond the constituency of people teaching English in secondary schools, Harold's teachings, writings and activities illuminated many more people's understanding of the relationship between language and learning in any context, whatever the age of the learner and the content of the learning. This tribute to Harold's life and work contains over 50 pieces of his writing. Harold's educational writings are grouped under three headings:

* The politics of language and English teaching
* The role of language in learning
* Story

Interspersed among the educational writings are some of Harold's stories and poems.
