AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO REPORT WAYS OF ACCELERATING INNOVATION IN THE ENGLISH TEACHING. THROUGH A SERIES OF QUESTIONNAIRES TO STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENTS AND A MAILING LIST OF OPINION LEADERS, PRIORITIES WERE ESTABLISHED, AND INNOVATIVE AND UNDERUSED PROGRAMS OF VALUE WERE COLLECTED. THE STUDY ALSO ATTEMPTED TO LOCATE REASONS FOR THE UNSATISFACTORY RESPONSE OF THE HUMANIST TO MASS EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION, AND SUGGESTED A FEW SPECIFIC WAYS THAT THE HUMANIST COULD UTILIZE MASS COMMUNICATION TO HELP SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF MASS EDUCATION. TWO RADIO SERIES--"TALKING SENSE" AND "LITERACY 1970"--(EACH CONSISTING OF THIRTEEN 15-MINUTE INTERVIEWS AND CONVERSATIONS) WERE APPENDED TO THE REPORT. THIS STUDY ALSO INCLUDED THE RAW MATERIALS FOR SOUND FILMSTRIPS AND FILMS (TRANSPARENCIES, TAPE, AND FOOTAGE) ON TWO CRITICAL PROBLEMS--TEACHING THE DISADVANTAGED IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS AND TEACHING GENERATIVE RHETORIC IN HIGH SCHOOLS. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT FURTHER FUNDING BE MADE AVAILABLE TO FINISH PRODUCING THESE TEACHING MATERIALS AND THAT THEY BE MADE PROTOTYPES FOR SERIES. (GD)
