Harold Rosen and English in Education and the Language Arts

About this book

Simon Gibbons embarks on a detailed and groundbreaking study in this book, examining the profound influence of Harold Rosen, a pivotal figure who transformed English education in the latter half of the twentieth century. Gibbons offers the first comprehensive analysis of Rosen's revolutionary contributions to progressive English teaching methodologies that continue to resonate in classrooms worldwide.

Drawing on extensive research, including previously unpublished writings and interviews with Rosen's colleagues, Gibbons meticulously charts Rosen's multifaceted impact: his development of a new model for English teaching; his pioneering work on language, class and culture; his innovative approaches to narrative in education; and his advocacy for teacher agency. The book illuminates how Rosen's work at the London Institute of Education, alongside colleagues James Britton and Nancy Martin, fundamentally reshaped understanding of language across the curriculum while maintaining an unwavering commitment to educational equity. Gibbons makes a compelling case for the contemporary relevance and necessary rediscovery of Rosen's educational philosophy.

This volume serves as an essential resource for student teachers, practicing educators and academics in English and language arts while also offering valuable insights to educators across disciplines interested in language's role in learning. By reconnecting readers with Rosen's enduring legacy, the book provides both historical perspective and practical guidance for addressing current educational challenges.
