Abstract | Widespread interest in English instruction and differing opinions about effective curriculums and useful materials indicate a need for a rationally conceived framework for the teaching of English as a unified discipline. The interrelatedness of the divisions of the discipline sustain the unity: language includes the structures and varieties of English; composition is concerned with the disciplined formation of thoughts in language; and literature emphasizes the most memorable forms of composition. This interrelation should be stressed in each grade, with increasing specilization from junior high school through college, at which point a review of basic integrations is particularly necessary for prospective teachers. The teaching of English as a discipline is not accomplished through curriculums which separate composition and literature, for instance, or classes designed with particular emphases; but rather through concentration on utilitarian, artistic, and imaginative uses of language, composition, and literature, and through the teacher's responsiveness to new materials, new methods, research, and experimentation.
