The professional journal in the special subject matter fields has varied functions to perform in the service of education. It must endeavor to strike a balance between the professional and the scholarly interests of its subscribers. For the teacher it presents materials for classroom use and methods of teaching with a view to improving instructional procedures. By discussing the aims of education and the contribution of the particular subject to the fulfillment of them, it provides a guiding philosophy for the direction of the teacher's efforts, and a basis for curriculum construction and revision for those charged with supervisory or administrative responsibility.

Guided writing assignments can encourage critical thinking in undergraduate psychology classes. Students (N − 96) were surveyed to assess the effectiveness of the method. Results suggested that the assignments were at an appropriate level for the course. Students indicated that they were able to relate the assignments to the course convent and that the assignments made the lecture and text material easier to understand. Overall, students thought that the assignments were integrated into the course content. Perhaps most important, students indicated that the assignments helped develop their individual interests in the subject matter. Finally, these assignments were overwhelmingly preferred to a traditional term paper.

Answering Questions

Writing in horticulture courses helps students develop a better understanding of the subject matter and prepares them for careers where they must communicate with the general public. Three writing assignments that can be modified for use in a wide range of horticulture courses are presented, along with grading sheets. The writing assignments simulate situations that horticulturists encounter frequently; i.e., answering questions about plant materials and their utilization and maintenance or proposing site improvements or additional expenditures for maintenance programs.

A successful teacher is not only a person with specialist knowledge and prominent personal features but the one with skills and capacities emphasizing particularly his/her managerial qualities. In addition, ESP teachers face a specificity dealing with two subject-matter fields – the English language and specific subject-matter knowledge, be it science, humanities, engineering, or anything else.A successful teacher is not only a person with specialist knowledge and prominent personal features, but the one with skills and capacities emphasizing particularly his/her managerial qualities. In addition, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) teachers face a specificity dealing with two subject-matter fields – the English language and specific subject-matter knowledge, be it science, humanities, engineering, or anything else. Are general pedagogical practices overemphasized and often at the expense of content knowledge? In our opinion, teachers’ knowledge of student thinking and learning is more related to their emotional intelligence and psychology than pedagogy. Instead of memorizing facts, students are to be taught to search for information, to connect things, and enable the development of integrative knowledge in a multidisciplinary education. In such a learning environment, the responsibility of teachers is not only in their teaching but in facilitating learning by doing. Teachers’ ability to use English in a way that encourages learning in their students, where accuracy, fluency, and intelligibility are implied as necessary, is in our opinion above all theories, especially in times when motivation in students is constantly decreasing and dazzling lights ‘are killing softly’ our society of gadgets and gizmos.

The Subject

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.
