The purpose of this study is to examine the concept of individualization of instruction as it applies to high school English instruction. The first two chapters of the study provide the rationale for individualizing high school English instruction, chapters 3 and 4 suggest a strategy, and the final chapter presents a summary and conclusions. Chapter 1 analyzes some of the conditions of our present society which call for new educational approaches. Chapter 2 examines some of the major developments in the concept of individualization from the early 1900s to the present. Chapters 3 and 4 discuss some of the essential changes in role and function of both teacher and student in an individualized situation and present model units for various areas of English in grades 10-12. One of the conclusions discussed in chapter 5 is that efforts should be made to prepare prospective teachers of high school English to approach instruction through an individualized approach.
