*smirks* Feel free to use at any conceivable occasion--although most of the people who based their entire methodology are retired, it's an assumption that still hangs around *alot* (my grad students are always talking about the love of literature that they just know they will instill in their students, and I keep telling them to let me know if it ever happens, esp. in "intro to lit" which in many departments is not a majors requirement).

And there are incredibly passive forms of reading that really mean nothing as well--so "reading" defined as sitting there moving your eyes over the print page is not automatically good.

My program is going for a lot more of a critical literacies approach and building in a lot of new media literacies (on both first year *and* graduate levels. The undergrad majors courses--well, it depends on the faculty involved.)
