MIND Speaks to MIND – Selected American Essays

Preface

Some years ago, a visitor to our office, a professor of English at a

large foreign university, asked if the English Language Programs Division

had published a book of American essays for foreign students – especially

students at the advanced level. Having to respond in the negative, I was,

nonetheless, “intrigued” by the idea of a collection of essays that would form

a source of stimulating ideas or thoughts that could be thoroughly examined

in the EFL classroom, discussed and debated in free conversation, and

perhaps, ultimately, lead to a significant growth in the exchange of

information between cultures – via the printed page.

From this rationale, then, there issues an explanation for the title,

Mind Speaks to Mind, which itself is an “exchange of information” between

the editor and Edward Hoagland in his essay, “On Essays”! And, readers are

encouraged to study this essay first as a type of guideline concerning the

nature/purpose of the essay. It is found on page 26.

For ease of reference, the essays are presented in alphabetical order

according to the last name of the author. This does not mean, however, that

teachers should adhere strictly to this order of presentation. Given the varied

scope and subject matter of the essays, teachers should feel free to establish

their own order of presentation within the classroom in accord with the needs

and interests of their students.

The reader who enjoys pursuing ideas into the realm of discussion

and philosophical concert will find in this short collection ample proof that

the liveliness of the essay is still an inspirational key to the unlocking of

communication – that continually desired goal of every teacher of language

the world around!
