  A Matter of Expectation: The Transition from School to University English
 
 
Title: A Matter of Expectation: The Transition from School to University English
Author: Green, Andrew
Appeared in: Changing English
Paging: Volume 14 (2007) nr. 2 pages 121-133
Year: 2007-08
Contents: This paper explores issues arising from a detailed study of the experiences of students, teachers and lecturers in managing the transition from school to university in the study of English. It outlines some key philosophical perspectives derived from Pierre Bourdieu and considers the extent to which it is possible to apply notions of 'habitus' and 'reproduction' to the study of English at A level and at university. Through the consideration of these philosophical issues, this paper offers an insight into students' experiences of transition and some of the difficulties they face as they become accustomed to the new learning environment of the higher education institution.
