We are delighted to announce that next year the MEA will be taking over an issue of Teaching English, the magazine published by NATE The National Association for the Teaching of English (UK).In cooperation with NATE, our aim in doing this is to explore the links between Media Education and English. We already have a number of articles planned and commissioned, but we would really like to have contributions from our members who are teaching either or both subjects. Articles/topics we would be interested might include:
Media in KS3 English
Innovative ways of teaching Literature Texts with media technologies
Teaching media and English texts that "belong" to students
Teaching set texts in English through film and other media
Or any other topic that explores the connections between Media and English
Articles can be between 750 and 2, 500 words long, and you would need to have them submitted by June 2024. If you've never written for publication before, don't worry, we will be hosting some writing workshops in the Spring term to help people get their articles into shape. If you're interested, please DM us on X or Facebook or email steve.connolly@aru.ac.uk.
It would be great to hear from you! Look out for more information in the coming weeks and in the New Year.
