https://www.candlinandmynard.com/landscapesofpractice.html

This volume bridges the gap between academic theory and practical application, offering educators a roadmap to better understand and support their students during periods of change. By elevating student voices, Students' Narrative Journeys challenges traditional pedagogies and calls for a more inclusive, reflective approach to language education. With a balanced mix of theory and real-life narratives, this book is an essential resource for teachers, researchers, and advisors looking to enhance their understanding of learner agency and self-access learning practices.

"In addition to being of interest to self-access centre workers and classroom teachers, this book offers support to researchers new to narrative inquiry by providing a template to guide their investigations regardless of geographical location or learning context." (Excerpt from the foreword by Garold Murray.)

The Big Beasts of English Grammar: An Exploration of Form and Function in Conversations by Christian Jones and Graham Burton

https://www.candlinandmynard.com/englishgrammar.html

"This is a book I’ve been hoping, for a very long time now, that someone would write. Any educator, whether teacher, trainer or materials writer, who has thought twice about the canonical syllabus and its ‘big beasts’ (or ‘sacred cows’ as I like to think of them), will be as grateful as I am that someone has at last taken the trouble (and a lot of trouble!) to drill down into the way English is actually used, resulting in a book that has important applications in terms of curriculum design and pedagogical grammar. It will (or ‘it is going to’?) change the way we think about the canonical grammar syllabus."

The Big Beasts of English Grammar: An Exploration of Form and Function in Conversations by Christian Jones and Graham Burton

"The best books about language are the ones that challenge you to think differently about what you thought you knew – this book does that admirably. There are countless fascinating corpus insights, but it is the cumulative picture which is telling: how language is shaped by conversational concerns and the interaction of lexis and grammar. The implications for the classroom sections are measured and thought-provoking. Highly recommended for practice-oriented researchers and research-oriented practitioners."
By Ivor Timmis
