English 341: Advanced Composition for Teachers is a three-credit undergraduate course for pre-service educators at Francis Marion University, a mid-size public university located in northeast South Carolina. According to the university catalog, students enrolled in English 341 "explore connections among writing, teaching, and learning as they examine the implications that their experiences as writers have for their work as teachers." The English department at FMU offers three concentrations: a Liberal Arts (literature) track, a Professional Writing track, and a Secondary Teacher Certification option. The students who enroll in English 341, however, are almost exclusively early-childhood education, elementary education, and middle level education majors, all of who must complete the course as a degree requirement.
