Abstract	Opting for curriculum design in the teaching of English which is based on recent psychological theory and current thought in logic, the author contrasts the more traditional chronological presentation with "process and structure" techniques. The weaknesses inherent in the idea of a curriculum patterned on the notion of having to "cover ground" in a certain predetermined period of time are examined. Teachers are urged to make their teaching more meaningful by viewing their educational objectives in terms of: (1) process, (2) structure, (3) concept development, (4) system interrelationships, and (5) thematic development. Three major principles relating to the development of concepts are included. Literary works and authors are cited to illustrate key ideas. (RL)
