This book offers both a scholarly and practical overview of an integrated language and literature approach in the 16-19 English classroom. Providing a comprehensive overview of the identity of the subject, it outlines the pedagogical benefits of studying a unified English at post-16 and provides case studies of innovative classroom practice across a range of topics and text types.

Including contributions from practising teachers and higher education practitioners with extensive experience of the post-16 classroom and drawing on a range of literature, this book covers the teaching of topics such as:

Mind style in contemporary fiction

Comparative poetry analysis

Insights from linguistic cohesion

Criticality through creative response

Written to complement the two other Teaching English 16-19 titles in the NATE series, Teaching English Language and Literature 16-19 is the ideal companion for all practising A-level English teachers, of all levels of experience.
