English

The mission of the Alexander College English Department is to teach students how to write expository and persuasive texts fluently and effectively and to read literature and academic texts actively and critically.

We use a wide variety of effective teaching strategies, including whole-class and small-group discussions, lectures, and audio-visual presentations, to accommodate the learning styles of all our students.

Employers, in virtually every field, list excellent speaking and writing skills as prerequisites for hiring their applicants and promoting their employees.
