S Student The acquisition of helpful teaching methods comes not only from observation, but also from diligent study of textbooks and their supplementary material. The student discovers the wisdom in old booksg he fre- quents the Co-Op for paperbacks, and delves into the bound volumes in Milner Library. As he reads various philosophical points of view, he searches his mind and forms his own philosophy of teaching. Theories gained from textbooks do not lie dormant, but are put into practice. The utilization of principles connected with speaking and writing forms an integral part in the development of communicative skills.
