Television And The Teaching Of English (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258357191)

Television And The Teaching Of English is a book written by Neil Postman that explores the impact of television on the teaching of English. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part examining the ways in which television has changed the way we learn and communicate. Postman argues that television has had a profound effect on the way we think and process information, and that this has had a significant impact on the teaching of English.In the second part of the book, Postman provides practical advice for teachers who want to use television as a tool for teaching English. He suggests that teachers should use television programs to teach critical thinking skills, to help students analyze and evaluate the messages they receive through television, and to encourage students to become more active and engaged viewers.Throughout the book, Postman emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and the need for teachers to be aware of the ways in which television can shape our thinking and our understanding of the world around us. He also provides examples of successful teaching strategies that have been used in the classroom, and offers guidance on how teachers can adapt these strategies to meet the needs of their own students.Overall, Television And The Teaching Of English is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers valuable insights into the role of television in education. It is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the ways in which media can shape our thinking and our understanding of the world around us.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
