Refugee students may come to schools with fragmented educational histories and other exile-related stressors, but many also settle fast, enjoy school and live rather ordinary childhoods.

Britten, Adrielle – Children's Literature in Education, 2022
War, like other stressful situations and experiences, entails a threat to one's subjective well-being, and war fiction for children represents this threat in different ways: some narratives minimise it, and others do not. War fiction, then, provides material for a case study of war and its impact on representations of subjective well-being (SWB),…

Phillips, Sandra; McLean Davies, Larissa; Truman, Sarah E. – Curriculum Inquiry, 2022

It therefore requires considered scholarship to reimagine how to engage with and teach literature in English. In this article, we explore the enduring problem of English and its inheritances, as well as the ways in which…

McLean Davies, Larissa; Bode, Katherine; Martin, Susan K.; Sawyer, Wayne – English in Education, 2020
While "born digital" artefacts such as video games and e-books have been part of secondary school English in Anglophone countries for over two decades, databases of mass-digitised (hence "re-mediated") literary texts are yet to have a significant presence in, or influence on, literary work in subject English. The authors…

Reid, Ian – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2016
Underlying the generally oblivious attitude of teachers and learners towards the past is insufficient respect for the role of memory in giving meaning to experience and access to knowledge. We shape our identity by making sense of our past and its relationship to present and future selves, a process that should be intensively cultivated when we…

Allan, Cherie – English in Australia, 2015
