Description
• Written by one of the world’s leading experts in the English in Education and the Language Arts
• Provides an accessible account of Vygotsky’s work that is accessible both to students and to teachers interested in how Vygotsky’s work relates to their classroom practice
• Vygotsky’s work has been undergoing a ‘revival’ for at least forty years and since the 1980s, the number of books and articles about his work have grown year on year
• More timely as ever as we face a narrower literacy curriculum, and a downgrading of the arts, play, and creative approaches to learning.
• Explores a less well-known aspect of Vygotsky’s psychology, one which sees play, creativity, literature and the arts as central to education, and emotion as basic to learning.
