One of Dr Bethan Marshall's areas of interest is in the competing philosophies or models of English as a subject and how these impact on policy.

Bethan is also concerned with the relationship between assessment and learning, with particular reference to English, as well as the relationship between film and television and pupils' developing literacy.
