Description: This roundtable introduces our MLA Options for Teaching volume on teaching the history of the English language (2019), intended to be a resource for nonspecialists and seasoned instructors alike who teach what is often a mainstay course for many English departments. Participants address teaching with a focus on creativity, prescriptivism, course structure, classroom strategies, and local versus global perspectives.
