Abstract

Learning to Read Critically in Language and Literacy helps postgraduate students develop skills of critical analysis and research design. It presents a series of examples of 'best practice' in language and literacy education research at a time when literacy development and learning through language are key policy issues. Leading researchers present a research project, together with their gloss on: why they did it that way, what they found or did not find; and why the research worked, or in some cases did not work. This series, edited by Mike Wallace , supports research-based teaching on masters and taught doctorate courses in the humanities and social sciences fields of enquiry. Each book is a 'three-in-one' text designed to assist the students and the academics who design and supervise such courses.
