Un aware that their own ability has developed throughthe years, they assume the new gen eratio n of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and earsof sen sitive adults the Ian guage of the

47、 young always seems in adequate.Since this concern about the decli ne and fall of the En glish Ian guage is not perceived as a gen eratio nal phenomenon but rather as someth ing new and peculiar to todays young people, it n aturally follows that todays En glishteachers cannot be doing their jobs. Ot
