Synopsis
Rethinking how universities teach English The author argues that language, literature, and history belong together in a single study of English. This edition challenges narrow language drills and urges a broader, historically informed approach that helps students read more deeply.
In clear, accessible terms, it explains why reading modern and historical texts should be paired with language training, and why examinations should test understanding over memorization. It also considers how to balance classics with modern knowledge, and how to open readers to the living connection between nation, language, and literature.
- Why a broad curriculum that mixes language study with literary reading can deepen understanding.
- How history and literature influence each other in meaningful, practical ways.
- What kinds of examinations best measure true knowledge and reasoning.
- How to choose languages and approaches that best serve students’ long-term learning.
Ideal for readers of educational theory and those shaping university English programs, this work speaks to instructors and students alike about the purpose and method of teaching English at the higher level.
