ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. Many of the ideas described affect the assessment, exams, aims, objectives and everything else to do with English. The book suggests that English is changing. It used to be the case that in order to succeed in the study of literature, students had to learn to look through one set of eyes, eyes that were perhaps very different from their own. The book highlights that reading is an active interpretation, and English deals with texts and how people read. Once people are aware of different ways of interpreting texts, it becomes clear that there is no neutral, objective approach to literature. The other side to education seems less concrete but is, in a way, closer to each: it is about fulfilling their own potential, following their own interests, exploring themselves and others, the society, the world, and becoming often in some indefinable way better.
