Abstract: This study traced the historical and philosophical evolution of short-course elective English programs in American secondary schools, emphasizing the development and effects of a selected example involving alternative course designs. The problem has been that many proponents of functional and/or content-oriented English curricula have considered the elective model incompatible with their professional commitments and have sought its demise. The short-course elective program, originally a manifestation of the experimental stance, has since demonstrated potential as an administrative accommodation for multidesign in future curricula.
