English correlates literature, writing, and mechanics of expression Back of the English Department ' s planning lies a three-fold dedication: preparing teenagers to meet communication challenges of the adult world, especially those needed in advanced education; help- ing them appreciate the marvelous depth of their native language while teaching them the most effec- tive ways of speaking and writing ; and giving them a glimpse of the literary heritage of the western world with special emphasis on America and England. Team teaching makes it possible for faculty mem- bers to lecture on their specialized subjects before large audiences while working with small discussion groups at other times. Co-ordination of English and history courses for juniors affords a greater insight into American cultural growth.
