The Art and Craft of Pedagogy: Portraits of Effective Teachers
'The Art and Craft of Pedagogy confirms the intrinsic pedagogical character of art practice. By bringing together the stories of an array of art practitioners working within different settings and environments, Richard Hickman helps his readers to better understand the relationship between art and teaching. In so doing he also dispels the mechanistic fallacy of "art as an instrument of education" where artists are expected to remain accountable to a schooled establishment that reduces art education into a functionalist machine.' John Baldacchino, Associate Professor, The Art and Art Education Programme, Teachers College, Columbia University, USA
This book is primarily intended for second, foreign and modern language teachers. It contains a series of short articles in order to provide teachers with theoretically supported classroom strategies for increasing communicative competence at different levels of skill development. Articles highlight the role of comprehensible input at the outset as well as strategies and target more context-specific strategies. The themes include early student comprehension and response, context-based comprehension and interaction, meaning-based communication and problem-solving, group work and the cooperative approach, and refining literacy skills. A final component evaluation is included.

The mission of this book is to provide teachers and other human service professionals specific tools they can use to teach more effectively without using the punitive methods that are too often part of educational practices. At the same time, the book explains the behavioral science on which behavioral practices are based.
