Teaching English - Linguistics and Literature Combined

Yogendra Butt

Synopsis

"Teaching English: Linguistics and Literature Combined" explores the inextricable link between literature and language. Despite being treated as separate subjects in traditional Nigerian secondary schools, literature and English are deeply interconnected. This book highlights the need to merge these disciplines to enhance students' understanding and proficiency.We examine how literary teachers often focus on the socio-cultural, economic, and religious meanings of texts, while linguistic elements receive less attention. This imbalance can lead to students excelling in literary analysis but struggling with English language skills. Our book argues for a symbiotic relationship between literature and language, suggesting integrated teaching approaches to improve education and learning outcomes.Through practical suggestions, we aim to address the poor academic performance observed at secondary and tertiary levels in Nigeria. By fostering a comprehensive understanding of both literature and language, students can achieve greater proficiency and success.

Speak Still - Articulating the...

Wing Lam Tong

Speak Still confronts colonial silencing by asking out loud: why do non-native speakers of English feel estranged from the English language, despite having known it since childhood? Is it possible for us to own this silence? If so, how can we find our eloquence from our experience of speechlessness? How can we bring the foreign language home?
Blending personal narrative and cultural criticism, Speak Still takes Tong's bilingual experience in Hong Kong and the UK as a point of departure and reflects on the meaning of language, selfhood, and belonging. Through poignant observations of everyday life as it is experienced between languages, Tong conceptualises a possibility to communicate and connect beyond words: by reclaiming silence as an interlocutor that interrupts cultural homogeneity and creates space for the unheard.
Speak Still shows that this silence, indeed, speaks volumes.
