  
English"English" is a way of perceiving, knowing, learning, and becoming. English is not simply a matter of mastering the language, for language is a part of all aspects of human experience. Martin Mystrand has described the English class as a place where one uses "languages to know," not just studies the uses of language. Actually, the two are bound up with each other. Borrowing from Benjamin DeMott, we can say that English as a school subject is "not centrally" about the learning of language, either language structures or applications, that it is "centrally" about the processes of perceiving, knowing, learning and becoming as these involve language. The point of connection, of course, is that in learning to use language to explore, to know, to become, one masters the forms and structures of the language as well.
