The English Subject Centre at seven: the range of activity Intelligence gathering and research Events, workshops Publications (web and print) Commissioned work Department projects and case studies

The subject community A vexed relationship: English at School and at University Practically, the ESC is based in literature – though widely defined We aim to build bridges We are working with Creative Writing And to some extent with English Language

Practical Interventions What teaching resources do people in our subjects look for? Re-usability vs. ideas, parables and hints Three examples: Teaching Topics and Texts Case Studies Seminar Teaching

T3 – Teaching Topics and Texts

Sharing practice: case studies

Teaching seminars and small groups Pages of ideas and suggestions

Themes prioritised by the Subject Centre Network Graduate employability and ‘employer engagement’ Training/development of early career staff: ‘academic practice’ in the disciplines Assessment

Themes emerging from the subject community (1) Emerging/declining areas of curriculum The implications of the rise of Creative Writing Student expectations and preparedness: the gap between school and university ‘Close Reading’

Themes emerging from the subject community (2) Recruitment, support and conditions of part-time staff Emergence of new communities: e.g. Creative Writing Future of the taught MA
