The history and present state of language teaching in the English classroom provide a classic study of lip service. Enlightened teachers across our land admit, indeed proclaim, that language is the most important hallmark of our humanness, and that a focus on language, pure or applied, can vitalize the English classroom, for both the teacher and the taught.
Most English teachers accept as the curricular model the tripod, triad, triumvirate, or trinity of literature, composition, and language, and perceive that since language is the medium for the other two parts, it is central to the school as well as to the human experience.Yet surveys show that language study has come to occupy only about 10 percent of the English curriculum, falling far behind programs in composition, literature, and even speech. Tho often, that 10 percent of study devoted to language learning is restricted to grammatical analysis and isolated usage drills. Students write S, V, DO, and 10 above the subject, verb, direct object, and indirect object of a sentence and are initiated into the intricacies of lie and lay, less and fewer, and compose and comprise.
