Our program’s sixteen faculty members are teacher-scholars in the true sense of the term. They teach introductory undergraduate as well as graduate courses. They publish books with presses whose titles are used in graduate programs across the country: Heinemann Boynton/Cook, Cambridge University Press, the National Council of Teachers of English, Hampton Press, TESOL Publications, and the University of Michigan Press, to name a few.
Our faculty members’ articles have appeared in in journals such as College Composition and Communication, Computers and Composition, English Journal, English Teaching Forum, Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy, Journal of Reading, The Language Teacher, PRE/TEXT, Research in the Teaching of English, TESOL Journal, TESOL Quarterly, and The Writing Instructor.
Look for them at conferences such as the American Association of Applied Linguistics, the National Council of Teachers of English, the College Language Association, the Conference on College Composition and Communication, the Linguistics Society of America, the International Writing Centers Association, and the annual TESOL Convention.
