English Is The Key To Effective Communication Outside reading is sometimes done during classroom time. English is a vital tool of communication in the modern world in which we live. Success may largely depend upon our understanding and knowledge of the English language. EHS realizes that English has never been more important than it is at the present; therefore, the English department enlists the services of a well- trained teachers ' program of literature and gram- mar, thus, increasing the students ' abilities to use the English language properly and effectively. The variety of literature read comprehensively and widely by college-bound pupils covers a wide range. Speeches, essays, and book reports are as- signed to give students the opportunity to make use of their knowledge. The great demand for pro- ficiency causes Elmhurst to excel in English and lite rature. Speed and accuracy are im- portant in this student ' s speech before the class. 18
