They are organized into seven major sections: an introduction which considers the emerging curriculum in English and the aims of English instruction; individualization of instruction; teaching reading, writing, and literature; teaching the art of listening; lightening the burden of the English teacher, which is concerned with organizing to make the best use of limited time; the English teacher and curriculum improvement; and the role and problems of the high school English chair. Bibliographies for further reading on each topic are also included. (AA)
