Our English Department offers four courses:  The Structure of English (required of all English Education majors), History of the English Language, North American English Dialects, and Introduction to Language & Linguistics.  My Ph.D. is in English Language and Linguistics, and I teach all four courses, in addition to English Composition.

Subject: Who Teaches the Grammar Course?

Dear ATEG members:

I'm researching who most typically teaches the grammar course (or preferably two or more classes involving study of language, grammar, and/or methods of incorporating language instruction into one's curriculum) in programs that prepare secondary education students in English Language Arts.  Are people with PhDs in linguistics more commonly recruited?  Or those with some combination of linguistics, education, comp/rhet, etc.?  I'd love to hear about the backgrounds of people who typically teach such courses at your instititutions.

Thanks so much,

Andrew
