Doctoral Degree in English Education, The

Editor(s): Allen Webb

The Doctoral Degree in English Education gathers the testimonies of graduate students and their professors, mostly former public school language arts teachers, as they develop their abilities as English teachers, earn the most advanced degree in their field, become professional leaders, and begin teaching at the university level.

Responding to an ongoing national shortage of professors of English education, this book provides first-hand information on deciding to pursue a doctorate, undertaking graduate studies, teaching university methods courses, writing a dissertation, and entering the field as a professor of English education.
This collection is essential reading for graduate students in English education and for any teacher considering college or university teaching.
