Teaching English, How To.... by Raymond Stopper
Part One: Teaching English
Chapter 1: Goals. Why teach English? Somewhere I read that the goals of a college education are to learn how to learn, to learn how to think, to learn how to communicate, and to learn how to solve problems. I believe that that statement is a concise summary of what we try to accomplish when we teach English. Add to those goals: to read, respond to, discuss and criticize literary works and you have what teaching English is all about. In this chapter I give examples of how to help students achieve each of these goals.
