ENGLISH Appreciation and respect for the English language is the ultimate goal the English Department at Liv- ingston High School has for its students. To achieve these ends, the faculty concentrates on teaching the skills of the written and spoken expression of language. Students are instructed in the analysis literature and its application to the society in which we liveg the ability' to approach literature in this fashion necessitates the use and reinforcement of the language skills already mentioned. ln the sophomore year, students are given a in- struction in composition work, research technique and library science skills. American literature is of- fered on this level. The juniors are given a back- ground in British literature and are required to write a research paper utilizing writing and research skillsg these include the use of library sources, note cards, footnoting and a bibliography. A concentration on composition writing is continuous throughout the three years of English at L.H.S. This year an English ll Honors Course has been added which offers literature of the world and serves as a kind of preparatory course for English lll and IV Advanced Placement. On the senior level, semester courses in elective subjects enable the student to choose specialized areas in which he has an interest. American Humor, Advanced Techniques of Writing, Steinbeck's Fiction, and Homeric Myths exemplify the diversity of elective courses offered in the field of English. All in all, the department strives to enable students to further develop and utilize the communication skills necessary for effective partici- pation in today's society. A C.A.S.T.
