The Wake Forest Student, Vol. 5 (Classic Reprint): October, 1885-July, 1886: October, 1885-July, 1886 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
English in Our Colleges tackles a common charge that English is neglected in American colleges. It argues that English instruction is not simply about grammar rules, but about building a practical command of the language through reading, writing, and daily usage.
The piece examines how students learn English, the role of grammar, and how studying a foreign language can actually strengthen English skills. It emphasizes that proper orthography, syntax, and composition are essential, but that formal grammar may be best taught through real reading and writing rather than isolated drills.
- Clarifies what "teaching English" can mean in college curricula.
- Balances grammar study with reading, translation, and vocabulary growth.
- Offers practical views on how language learning supports clear thinking and expression.
- Considers the impact of early habits and the value of long-term practice.
Ideal for readers curious about how college-level English is taught and why language training matters for all students.
