The Secondary English Magazine deals with the areas of study covered by secondary English departments, including drama and media; and from time to time it offers contributions on language from specialists in other subjects, such as history or science. Articles by teachers, advisers and examiners provide a perspective on developments in both teaching and assessment, and on resources. ICT is an integral part of much of the work described; and there are regular reviews of teenage fiction.
