engh h The proper use of language is neces- sary for success in almost every oc- cupation. Without the ability to com- municate it is impossible to partici- pate in society. The English teachers of Beekmantown do an excellent job in not only teach- ing students the proper use of the English language, but also in teaching students to respect classic literature. The Beekmantown English teachers make the complicated task of learn- ing language an exciting challenge. Students may grudgingly admit that they find their own language enjoy- able to learn and research. ln addition to the regular courses in language instruction, the English department offers seniors courses in joking mat- ter, short story, tragic image, media, film and literature, and supernatural literature.
