USE OF THE GUIDE IS INTENDED FOR THE INSTRUCTION OF AVERAGE STUDENTS IN THE SECONDARY SCHOOLS. ALTHOUGH THE INSTRUCTOR IS GIVEN AREAS OF MODIFICATION FOR BELOW- AND ABOVE-AVERAGE PUPILS, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE OUTLINE BE FOLLOWED AS CLOSELY AS POSSIBLE. THE ENGLISH COURSE IS ARRANGED INTO CERTAIN FIELDS OF STUDY INCLUDING GRAMMAR AND COMPOSITION, SPELLING AND WORD STUDY, LISTENING AND SPEAKING, AND LITERATURE. LISTS OF REQUIRED AND OPTIONAL BOOKS AND TYPES OF COMPOSITIONS TO BE WRITTEN IN EACH GRADE ARE GIVEN. THE TIME ALLOTMENT PER OUTLINE IS QUITE DECEPTIVE AND IS LEFT TO THE TEACHER'S DISCRETION, BUT APPROXIMATELY HALF THE TIME SHOULD BE DEVOTED TO LITERATURE AND THE OTHER HALF TO GRAMMAR AND COMPOSITION. TEACHERS ARE ENCOURAGE TO CONSULT THE "READING GUIDE" FOR APPROPRIATE READING SKILLS TO BE TAUGHT AT EACH GRADE LEVEL. ALSO INCLUDED ARE OUTLINES FOR ELECTIVE ENGLISH COURSES IN THE SECONDARY SCHOOLS, SUCH AS SPEECH, JOURNALISM, DRAMA, ADVANCED AND CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE, AND YEARBOOK.
