The purpose of this study was to survey alternative |
|
schools to determine what their English programs are |
|
like, what kinds of problems and successes have been |
|
encountered by their English teachers, and what |
|
suggestions they have for others who encounter similar |
|
problems. Questionnaires were sent to administrators and |
|
English teachers in a number of alternative schools |
|
selected at random. Analysis of the findings indicated |
|
that respondents perceive their English programs as being |
|
in line with current educational trends toward |
|
individualized, yet humanistic, education, with emphasis |
|
on the development of skills. Respondents reported |
|
problems involving development, selection, or procurement |
|
of materials, recruitment of appropriate teachers, and |
|
skills development. Suggestions for meeting such problems |
|
emphasized a need for planning and preparation time. Many |
|
respondents attributed their successes to the cooperation |
|
of administrators, teachers, and students, who work in a |
|
Program to which they are firmly committed. These |
|
respondents recommend that schools implementing new |
|
English programs provide systematic programs of staff |
|
development and curriculum development. (GW) |
