Changing Content in the English Curriculum by Evelyn M. Copeland, Kenneth L. Donelson, Mary M. Galvan, Elisabeth McPherson & Margaret J. Early - 1977The what of teaching cannot easily be distinguished from the
how of teaching as the contributions to the Yearbook readily indicate.
Yet the content parameters of English have so expanded over
the past two decades that any review of current developments would
seem incomplete without direct consideration of the changing nature
of the discipline. In selecting five areas for special consideration in
this chapter, the authors illustrate the gradual broadening of subject
matter that has occurred both as a result of scholarly and professional
developments and as a response to new instructional requirements.
That many of these changes have precipitated controversies
in individual communities is perhaps less significant than their
demonstration of the vitality of English studies in a changing social
and educational setting. View Full Text in PDF Format| This article originally appeared as NSSE Yearbook Vol 76, No. 1. |
