Bridging English, 5/e brings tomorrow’s English teachers the theory and practice they need to be effective in their own classrooms. Comprehensive and thoroughly up to date, this new fifth edition focuses on such new recent developments as the increasing diversity of today’s students, with their unique learning styles and needs; the expanding definition of literacy; the mounting pressures of accountability and end-of-course testing; and the challenges and opportunities arising from rapid advances in technology–subjects that the authors tackle to bring the text up to date and in step with what’s really happening in today’s classrooms.
