Andrew, 

 

At our small liberal arts institution, I teach the grammar class for all
English majors-including those in secondary ed-and a colleague teaches a
course on the history of the English language. My PhD is in American
literature, and hers is in British lit. We do not have anyone in our
department who specializes in linguistics. Interestingly, the person who is
currently running the secondary ed program for English majors has a PhD in
comp/rhetoric.

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
