From Researching Colloquialism as a Style in the First-Person-Narrator Fiction of Eudora Welty to Explaining Why a Mule Can't Reproduce: Or the Reeducation of an English Teacher

Nell Ann Pickett Hinds Community College

Abstract

The transition from teacher of literature to teacher of technical writing was both a matter of choice and a matter of necessity. By choice I teach in a community college. But the subjects I teach and the manner in which I teach them are largely influenced by the nature of the institution and the students. The institution, committed to the concept of extending educational opportunity to all, attracts a uniquely heterogeneous student body who prefer occupationally oriented programs.
