This introductory text explores the integration of language and literature in the classroom. The two subjects are normally seen as distinct areas of the curriculum, but this book shows how they can be mutually supporting and enriching. Recent research in classroom practice is also covered.

This book presents the reader with a practical classroom-based guide to how the teaching of language and literature, until recently seen as two distinct subjects within the English curriculum, can be used as mutually supportive resources within the classroom.
