Abstract	This program focuses on the elective English programs which are, in whole or in part, replacing traditional English offerings at the secondary school level. It is suggested that the newer elective English programs differ from traditional ones in at least six ways: (1) elective programs consist of a wide variety of courses; (2) students are generally free to choose the courses they feel will be most meaningful to them; (3) most programs permit all students to select courses they want, regardless of their grade level; (4) most elective programs insist upon a greater awareness of individual student abilities and interests; (5) elective programs produce, or at least reflect, a much stronger sense of professionalism among teachers of English; and (6) the assumptions underlying elective programs strongly encourage the exploration of a variety of alternatives to the teaching and learning of the language arts. Literature, composition, and language electives are discussed, as well as other types of courses, and the critical questions about electives are examined. Part two discusses how to develop rationale, objectives and courses for elective programs. (LL)
