ABSTRACT
This chapter is a companion both to Chapter 8 (‘Media Literacy and English’) and Chapter 10 (‘Drama in Teaching and Learning English’). The purpose of this chapter is to help you to consider the relevance of digital technologies to your teaching of English. It begins with some reflection on the significance of the ‘digital revolution’ to classroom practices and to the subject of English and then offers a rationale for a creative approach that engages pupils in the processes of making to help them to understand the construction and language of different texts, including multimodal texts (still, moving image and sound texts, in particular).
