  • How Big is Your Effect Size

    Anne TurveyARTICLEChanging English2014

    It would be impossible to preface what follows with one of those ‘disclaimers’ that insist ‘the views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not reflect the views of...’ This would not only be disingenuous, it would deny the history that I draw on to make an argument about teaching, learning and research. Twenty-five years ago I came to the Institute of Education to do an MA in Language and Literature. My tutors wer…

  • Researching the complexity of classrooms

    Anne TurveyARTICLEChanging English2012

    In recent years, it has become fashionable to demand of research that it produces ‘evidence’ that can be turned into easily generalisable findings. Ever more elaborate sets of managerial standards and pre-defined learning outcomes have been imposed, and English teachers are encouraged to see their practice as merely an implementation of ‘what works’. What gets lost in such discourse is the messy and wonderfully productive complexity of classrooms…

  • Writing and Teaching Writing

    Anne TurveyARTICLEChanging English2007

    This article investigates the difficulties faced by trainee English teachers when they teach writing. As newcomers to the profession, they are trying to understand the processes involved in becoming a writer. At the same time, they are asked to focus on the forms and features of different kinds of writing as a way to meet ‘writing objectives’ laid down in a number of curriculum documents. When the student teachers do approach writing as a process…

  • Standards or communities of practice? Competing models of workplace learning and development

    Open AccessJohn Yandell, Anne TurveyARTICLEBritish Educational Research…2007Cited by: 2References: 21

    Drawing on interview data derived from two case studies of teachers in their first year in the profession, this article examines the difficulties that confront new teachers as they move from a Postgraduate Certificate in Education course into their first teaching post. It questions the value of those discursive practices, promulgated by the Teacher Training Agency through Qualifying to teach , that construct teaching as a set of discrete competen…

  • Who'd be an English teacher

    Anne TurveyARTICLEChanging English2005

    This paper is about the progress of newly qualified teachers of English in London classrooms. Using a case‐study approach, it explores the ways teachers' knowledge of their subject is developed in specific situations and in relation to particular learners. In contrast to media representations of successful teaching that focus on questions of personality and inspiration, the picture of progress offered here is one of negotiation and accommodation,…

  • The Space Between Shared Understandings of the Teaching of Grammar in English and French to Year 7 Learners

    Karen Turner, Karen M T Turner et al.ARTICLELanguage Awareness2002

    In this article, we describe a small scale research project in which an English and a French student teacher on our Postgraduate Certificate of Education course work collaboratively to develop their personal knowledge and understanding of grammar and its role in teaching both subjects to 11 year old learners in an English comprehensive school. The project begins with university-based discussions about the role of grammar in language learning as e…

  • English Teachers--Born or Made

    Bethan Marshall, Anne Turvey et al.ARTICLEChanging English2001

    Much has been made in recent years of the different views teachers of English hold of their subject, but little work has been done on how these views are formed, or indeed how they may change over time. This paper, based on a longitudinal study conducted over two years, tracks one cohort of student English teachers, through their one-year post graduate course, at one department of education, into their first year of teaching. The research also pr…

  • Teaching Grammar

    Tony Burgess, Anne Turvey et al.ARTICLEChanging English2000

    An earlier article (see Changing English 7:1, Burgess, Turvey and Quarshie) described work with trainee teachers of English. Students' understanding of language issues, particularly grammar, was the focus of this research. As the trainees move into schools and engage with curriculum requirements and with the needs and interests of pupils, their subject knowledge is developed and transformed in ways which are the subject of this follow-up article.…
