It has been the ambition of the English Department to help the students develop their reading habits, improve their creative writing and enable each student to obtain a well-rounded background in the lingual arts. We use individual and group reports, reading assignments, book reports, classwork, and homework whenever necessary. Through elective courses such as Public Speak- ing, journalism, and Creative VVriting, the students are given an excellent chance to broaden their scope of the English language. JR.
