This English language curriculum resource handbook provides background information and techniques of instruction designed for instructors helping students to prepare themselves for the General Educational Development Tests in general language and literary abilities. It consists largely of fundamental concepts which high school graduates are expected to retain, together with some techniques which may be of use in developing these concepts. Included are: 99 sample test questions; an annotated list of instructional materials (textbooks, workbooks, and review books); and the addresses of the publishers. (Author/NL)
