Why teach English

+
+

As an English teacher, you'll be a cornerstone in pupils' lives. From reading and exploring literature to writing and delivering debates, you'll cover essential skills needed to think critically and thrive beyond the classroom.

+ + <%= render 'content/shared/teaching/benefits' %> +
+
+ +
+ + <%= render 'content/shared/quotes/quote_progression_chris' %> +
+ +
+

Shape your pupils' futures

+
+

Teaching English opens the door for your pupils to pursue exciting careers in fields such as journalism, marketing and publishing. You may even inspire the next generation of teachers.

+

Your pupils will learn more from you than you might think. As their teacher, you'll guide them through the skills they need to show their understanding of written and spoken English. You'll teach them valuable life skills such as critical thinking, creativity and communication.

+
+
+ +
+ + <%= render 'content/shared/quotes/quote_english_laura' %> +
+ +
+

What you'll teach

+

You'll teach the national curriculum for English.

+

Throughout key stage 3 English is broken into reading, writing, spoken English, and vocabulary and grammar.

+

Skills you’ll cover when you teach 11 to 14 year olds (key stage 3) include:

+
    +
  • developing a love of reading increasingly difficult material
    • +
  • understanding how authors' choices can change meaning
    • +
  • summarising and organising material to support arguments
    • +
  • writing a range of stories, scripts and debates
    • +
  • planning, drafting and editing work for coherence
    • +
  • using standard English confidently
    • +
  • giving short speeches and presentations
    • +
  • performing poems, thinking about tone of voice, volume, mood and silence
    • +
+

In key stage 4 (14 to 16 years olds) you will help pupils demonstrate skills in:

+
    +
  • understanding and evaluating texts
    • +
  • analysing a writer’s choice of vocabulary, grammar and structure
    • +
  • writing accurately and fluently for pleasure
    • +
  • adapting writing style for different purposes and audiences
    • +
  • analysing differences between written and spoken English
    • +
  • listening to the contributions of others
    • +
  • chemical and allied industries
    • +
  • improvising, rehearsing and performing play scripts
    • +
+

Explore what teaching key stage 3 and 4 English lessons would be like at the Oak National Academy website.

+

At A level and AS level (key stage 5) English is split into langauge and literature, you’ll help pupils develop a deeper knowledge and understanding of:

+
    +
  • language analysis
    • +
  • functions of texts
    • +
  • relationships between writers and audiences
    • +
  • audiences
