For written commun- ication, grammar and form are stressed as well as creativity and clarity. Since literature is the written record by which the communi- cation of ideas is preserved, the literature of the past and the present is studied. Most im- portant, in improving ones writing ability, is actual writing. The stude-nts are required to do themes, paragraphs, short stories, and es- say tests to acquire this experience. Oral communication ot ideas is taught through the study of dramas, an art form which depends upon the spoken work, and the presentation of panel discussion, and oral re- ports. Some English classes prepare plays and present them to student audiences. The English department's two part pro- gram, stressing written and oral communica- tion prepares the student to use the English language skillfully. ' f l You'd better laugh, it you want to pass!
