Editorial: Bound to Necessity?

Hodgson, John

Abstract

What is the purpose of research into the teaching of English? Knowledge and understanding are required to work effectively with learners of any age, but these principles include both what is traditionally known as techne – the skill or craft required to achieve a desired outcome – and the wider understanding denoted by episteme. Given the economic and political circumstances within which educators worldwide currently work, it may not be surprising that much of the research presented in this issue of English in Education concerns episteme rather than techne.
