English curriculum. Realizing Ihe imporiance of wriling as a form of self-expression, Ihe English Depar+men'l' advo- caies considerable praclice in 'rhis skill. Each slu- denl is also able To gain undersianding of his own language 'rhrough Ihe sludy of vocabulary and Ihe siruclure of English, as well as Through exposure To all maior Types ol: liieralure. The sludenl acquires adclilional proficiency in communicalion Through exiensive speaking, reading, and Iislening in his Ihree required years of English sludy. Because Ihe maiorily of LT sfudenls go on 'ro Iiuriher formal educalion, 'rhe deparlmem' offers several courses in college preparalory work. Sludenis who do noi go on +o college may eIec+ courses clesignefl +o round oul Iheir formal English sfucly. Moreover. ihe curriculum accommodales Ihe needs of each individual Ihrough speciaIi7ed courses in journal- ism, drama, and speech, which sludenls may elecf during Iheir junior and senior years.
