Wright, Mary F.; Wright, Brenda – English in Australia, 2010
There is a growing movement in education to address concepts of sustainability across the curriculum. The English Language Arts curriculum is about reading the word and the world (Freire, 1993) and therefore is a natural place to begin reading, writing and discussing issues of global importance. A holistic view of English education through the…

Higgs, P. – South African Journal of Higher Education, 2008
