In the English program at MLWGS, students read great works of literature and then learn how to think about, discuss, and write about these works. English teachers model the analysis of literature in order to teach students how to recognize and appreciate not only the literary techniques that authors use but also the ideas that authors explore. Students learn about the English language, from the grammatical construction of sentences, through the organization of a paragraph, to the assemblage of ideas into a logical essay. Students also apply these skills to the way they speak in public and share their ideas in discussion.
