Missing the Meaning

Abstract

The third section of this book addresses the question: how can text and other learning materials be better matched to the preconceptions, expectations and inclinations of learners and teachers? We begin this introduction to the section with a focus on the Teacher–Learner–Text relationship that stems from comparative research in three settings, England, Canada and Finland.1
