inside english invites articles, reviews, and other writing of interest to
instructors of English in two-year colleges, as well as letters in response
to articles or on issues of concern to English faculty. Poetry is also

"Best Practices," "Department Chairs," "Part-Time Faculty Concerns," and
"One Good Idea" (describing a single classroom technique or approach).
