Knowledge about language for communication

David Crystal has made an important contribution to understanding of language and linguistics including an influence on education. For example this comprehensive seminal introduction:

  • Crystal, D. (2010). The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language (3rd ed.). Cambridge University Press.

For more up to date work on language that is relevant to primary teaching see the chapters on language in this book:

  • Wyse, D. (2023). Teaching English, Language and Literacy (5th Edition). Abingdon: Routledge.
