The responsibility of citizenship also requires that students master the interrelated skills ot communication-listening, speaking, read- ing, and writing, Included in the program is a parallel reading course, designed to awaken in students appreciation for great litera- ture as one manifestation ot eternal beauty and truth. For the past tive years, the National Council of Teachers ot English has awarded students in the department certificates ot honor for excellence in its competitive writing pro- gram.
