English Educates People must communicate with each other to understand and learn things. People must be able to read so they can be educated and be part of their world through books. People must be able to write so they can convey their expressions to others near or far by letters, poetry or prose. The English Dept, can be summarized by these three important words: speaking, reading, and writing. All different varieties of these basic three can be found in Speech, Speed Reading, Literature, Grammar and Publications branches.
