Summer 2019 Journal pdf

Description

This is just a sample of the inspiring articles in this issue. Professor James Shapiro talks to ETAS stalwart Eva Göksel about bringing Shakespeare into the classroom. Shapiro’s current book project is an examination of Shakespeare in an America divided by Trump. A fabulous read, and very useful for those who do sometimes wonder how to achieve that involvement that eventually leads to appreciation and understanding of great words (regardless of who wrote them).

The interview leads into the Focus of this issue, which looks at Special Education Needs and Disabilities produced and edited by Rachel harris, and a section on drama and literature produced and edited by Eva Göksel. Naomi Epstein’s brief essay on teaching literature to deaf students: moving and illuminating.

The contents of this issue are interesting and motivating. They illustrate how rewarding English language teaching can be, but they also provide insight into some of the challenges that teachers face on a daily basis.
