Charged with Meaning is the third edition of Reviewing English – a book which has become the standard reference for both practicing teachers of English and pre-service teachers.

It provides a comprehensive overview of the development of the teaching of English, and discussion and useful information about the range of classroom issues which teachers have to deal with. This edition retains many of the chapters from previous edition - up dated to include recent developments and issues facing English teachers, as well as several new chapters.

Many chapters include practical applications and there also several separate chapters dealing with practical applications for the classroom.
