Excerpt from The Teaching of English, in the Elementary and the Secondary School
If a word may be added to intimate the point of view assumed in the writer's outlook upon his task, it may be this: he has conceived of the duty and privilege of the teacher of English to be that of teaching it not only for its linguistic values, for the making of intelligent readers and capable writers and speakers; but for its large culture values, and, above all, for its character values, for the spiritual enlargement, clarification, and discipline of young hearts and minds and wills, which are to be touched to finer issues by its potent ministry.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book posits that the teaching of English studies in schools and colleges requires a systematic, science-based approach for better linguistic and cultural proficiency. The author presents a viewpoint that is both timely and revolutionary, calling for a greater emphasis on the study of English language and literature. Analyses of the methodologies used to date reveal significant inefficiencies, especially in the lack of coordination between different educational levels, from kindergarten through college. Central to the argument is that native cultural factors must be considered in curriculum design, an idea that resonates especially in America, where a diverse population demands a rethinking of traditional academic approaches. The book presents models for reforming English studies, such as increasing the use of literary works, especially those by American authors, as the basis for teaching writing and speaking skills. The author encourages teachers to focus on developing students' expressive abilities and critical thinking skills through literature. This bookâs exploration of the significance of English studies in education is an important contribution to the field, offering valuable insights for educators seeking to improve English language teaching.
