Abstract | This paper argues that many English teachers are not prepared to be language teachers and are unwilling and unready to shift their educational focus from literature to language, a shift which is necessary in light of students' needs today. Numerous suggestions are made for improving language courses: design courses that offer a strong background in the nature of language as well as in aspects of traditional language tools; design courses which teach the appropriateness of language in given situations and with given audiences; continue to teach the history of American English; teach logic and organization in language; educate or reeducate teachers in the nature of language; and continue to teach poetry, drama, fiction, media, and courses in literary heritage in the context of the artistic use of language.
