English:
The English Department bases its curriculum on the premise that it is essential to foster all the literacy processes, including reading, writing, listening and speaking. The curriculum is a four year program in which written and oral communication skills are presented in a developmental sequence. Skills introduced freshman year are reinforced and strengthened during the remaining three years. In addition to language skills, each year's course addresses a particular aspect of literature. All freshman, sophomore and junior English classes address the same objectives and cover the same core material as outlined in each year's syllabus. Senior year offers students the opportunity to select two one-semester courses of interest. These courses, likewise, foster all the literacy processes.
