The Pedagogical Pitfalls of Literature in College Composition and Teacher Education: A Foundational AnalysisMany of today’s college students struggle with college-level writing in Standard English, and during the last few decades, educators, parents, and experts in countless professional fields have begun to express a collective frustration over the quality of college graduates’ written English. However, this lack of quality in students’ and graduates’ writing is not due to laziness or generational differences, but rather a foundational shortcoming in the use of literary texts as the basis for instructional material in lower-level composition classes. This paper examines the traditional use of literature-based instruction in first-year composition (FYC) classes as well as undergraduate and graduate English programs nationwide. Norman argues that after decades of British and American literature as the core course material for composition instruction in higher education, English departments across the U.S. must reconsider how to approach preparing 21st-century college students for real-world and disciplinary writing. However, before educators begin to rethink FYC course design, Norman highlights the need for a curricular overhaul in undergraduate and graduate English programs that serve future secondary and postsecondary teachers of English. In addition to tracing the root causes for literature’s dominance in both FYC and English teacher education, Norman acknowledges contemporary and multimodal strategies for utilizing literary texts in literature instruction, alongside other scenarios in which literary instruction does prove beneficial for students.

Take It From the TAs: Here Are Six Things All Undergrads Need to KnowAfter as the end of my first year in graduate school approaches and two years since getting my bachelor’s degree, I’ve learned a lot of things I wish I’d have known as an undergrad.

Career Lessons Covid Taught MeWhen I say the last two years have been a whirlwind, whirlwind is an understatement. Had anyone asked me at the beginning of 2020 where I thought I’d be in two years, I’d have answered rather naively, “Probably writing for a company!” COVID had plans for me, and then some.

Surviving the Cold Shock of Graduate SchoolWhen I got my undergraduate degree during early COVID (that seems to be a better reference of time; 2020 was no ordinary year), I was burnt out..
