A Student-Centered English Curriculum.
In a period of expanding enrollments and shrinking budgets, this article criticizes the curriculum design of college English programs and current teaching practices. The author feels that fragmentation of the curriculum into highly specialized areas of study has prevented the development of new courses in interdisciplinary studies, film criticism, modern letters, and rhetoric and stylistics. Resultant practices in teaching and teacher recruitment are examined with alternative solutions offered to the interrelated problems involved in teaching and curriculum design. (RL)
