Throw Your Students Out of the Classroom!
A Real World Experience for ENG 114 Students

Editor's Note: This teaching assignment was presented by Clemellyn H. Welch, lead English instructor at Central Carolina Community College at the North Carolina Conference of English Instructors' Fall Conference 2001 at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, on October 29, 2001. The presentation is a three-phase English 114 assignment during which students move beyond the college setting to explore their chosen careers. The project requires students to accomplish multiple tasks: setting up and conducting an interview, preparing a written report of interview results, and making an oral presentation of these results.
