Title: Writing and learning across the curriculum, 11-16
Description: In 1966 a research project was set up by the Schools Council at the London Institute of Education to look at The Written Language of 11-18 Year Olds. The project's work has been firmly based on schools, the research team worked with teachers of all subjects to try to find ways in which a pupil's writing could more effectively contribute to their personal development and learning. Not only writing, but talking, too, as it is impossible to ignore the interrelationship of spoken and written language. This study has documented many examples of students writing and talking about a wide variety of topics. Their work has been a constant source of interest and so have the contexts from which it came. In the framework provided, the authors hope that it will provoke further thought, talk, and even writing from a wider public audience.
