             This collection of five papers from the Anglo-American Seminar on the Teaching
       of English deals with language standards, common attitudes toward language, the
       relationship between linguistics and the teaching of English, and the linguistic
       component of the preparation of the English teacher. Albert H. Marckwardt surveys
       the history of language standards, presents the respective views of the English
       teacher and the linguist on standard English, and attempts to show how each can
       benefit from understanding the other's viewpoint. David Mackay emphasizes the need
       for the English teacher to relate standard English to the student's personal dialect,
       and to guide him in understanding and mastering the most appropriate forms. John M.
       Sindair considers what the English teacher needs to know about linguistics and what
       types of linguistic system would be most valuable to teachers in describing the
       language. Joshua Fishman points out that because mot Americans have some cultural
       roots in languages other than English, their sensitiveness to these languages should
       be taken into account by the teacher of English. The last paper, the final report of
       the pint working party and study group, presents seven main issues that must be
       dealt with in any discussion of teacher education and language learning. (LH)
