ABSTRACT

Our starting point is provided by two accounts of observed lessons. The two lessons happened, at more or less the same time, in the same English department in an East London secondary school. Both lessons, observed by the second- and third-named authors, involved the shared reading of the same novel. We are interested in the difference between these two lessons, a difference that is manifested most clearly in the different ways in which questions enter in the two lessons. We argue that this difference is symptomatic of two fundamentally different versions of English as a school subject.

摘要

我们的出发点是对观察到的教训的两个说明。这两节课几乎同时发生在东伦敦中学的同一个英语系。第二和第三作者所观察到的两堂课都涉及对同一本小说的共同阅读。我们对这两节课之间的区别感兴趣，这一区别在两节课中提问的不同方式表现得最为明显。我们认为，这种差异是英语作为学校科目的两种根本不同版本的症状。
