English: Bridge Over Communication Gap The knowledge and ability to use one's own language to its best potential is very important in developing relationships with others. For an English teacher, lessons must be informative as well as interesting. There must be complete knowledge of old and new styles. The English department is composed of 14 teachers, 4 of whom teach other classes as well. All these teachers know and apply old and new concepts in such things as poetry,vocabualry, punctuation, and all the mechan- ics of Englishgbut they also try to use their knowledge in order to stimulate the minds and talents of students.
