Abstract
Emphasizing “the dynamic aspects of language correctness,” community college teacher Gregory Shafer helps students understand that achieving correctness is not simply a matter of following a set of rules. He then asks students to write letters and speeches in which they demonstrate the relationships among language, power, purpose, and audience.
