Yet going largely unnoticed was another powerful revolution: the explosive growth of the two-year college. In \u003ci\u003eThe Profession of English in the Two-Year College\u003c\/i\u003e, those on the front lines of this movement record how they successfully taught a new kind of student in a re-imagined postsecondary institution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThose students lived at home, worked to make ends meet, and were the first in their families to attend college. They were Vietnam veterans, adults years distant from high school, fulltime workers, and struggling immigrants. To teach them, faculty invented new curricula, novel instructional methods, and innovative teaching materials--and in doing so also invented a blueprint for successful two-year college English teaching. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Profession of English in the Two-Year College\u003c\/i\u003e features essays by major figures including Mark Reynolds, Elizabeth Nist, Marilyn Smith Layton, and William Costanzo, concluding with a selective bibliography by Howard Tinberg. Featuring essays about curricular innovation, ESL, the value of professional conferences, and the crucial role that two-year colleges have played in technological innovation, this volume shines a bright light on an institution that has become a mainstay of American higher education. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Reynolds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0867095792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780867095791\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Heinemann Educational Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Mark Reynolds","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48517532647679,"sku":"9780867095791","price":47.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_544db42e-9dc6-4590-bdac-b18f0038c13c.jpg?v=1778732069","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-profession-of-english-in-mark-reynolds-9780867095791","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
