Subject: Ph.D. Program in Lang and Literacy, ASU College of Education
Applications are invited for fall 2001 for the Ph.D. in Language and
Literacy, part of ASU's Interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Curriculum and
Instruction, College of Education. A limited number of funding packages are
available. For details and information on how to obtain an application,
see http://is.asu.edu/coe/langlit/index.html (or call 480/965-4602).
The Interdisciplinary Language and Literacy Ph.D. Program in the Division
of Curriculum and Instruction at Arizona State University provides
opportunities for research and study in one or more of the following:
Educational linguistics, bilingualism, second language learning, language
diversity, language and literacy education, children's literature,
classroom discourse analysis, gender and literacy, emergent literacy,
adolescent literacy, biliteracy, language policy, and other language
education topics.
PROGRAM GOALS
The Language and Literacy Ph.D. Program is designed to produce researchers
and teacher educators. The goals of the program are to
· prepare students to critically analyze and conduct research in their area
of specialization; and
· prepare students to carry out research, teaching, and service activities
associated with faculty positions at institutions of higher education and
other professional positions.
Some students opt to specialize in research, others pursue careers in
teaching or administration, but all are prepared to make individual career
decisions based on examined theory in language and literacy and a critical
view of research.
THE CURRICULUM
Our doctoral curriculum typically requires at least three years of graduate
study. Students are required to spend one year as fulltime students on
campus at Arizona State University. However, all students are encouraged
to integrate into the scholarly community on campus as much as possible,
and to spend a good amount of time interacting with faculty and other
students in the program.
The curriculum provides students with a core set of courses, seminars,
internships, and research experiences. Each student's program of study
builds upon core requirements and is uniquely designed around individual
interests, in consultation with the student's advisor.
An important feature of the program in Language and Literacy is that
students are encouraged to draw on the scholarly resources of the entire
university and develop a cross-disciplinary program of study that includes
courses from outside the College of Education.
REQUIREMENTS
The following six domains comprise the Interdisciplinary Language and
Literacy Ph.D. Program:
Area of Concentration
30 semester hours pertaining to language and literacy education, children's
literature, gender and literacy, emergent literacy, adolescent literature,
classroom discourse analysis, educational linguistics, bilingualism and
bilingual education, second language learning, language policy, biliteracy,
or other language education topics.
Cognate Study
12 semester hours are taken to broaden the student's understanding of the
conceptual base and issues underlying the study of curriculum and
instruction. Students take related work outside their declared areas of
concentration. Students are expected to choose courses that have a clear
link to their dissertation efforts. Cognate studies can be drawn from a
broad range of offerings across the University.
Inquiry and Analysis
15 semester hours of empirical analysis and inquiry foundations are
required in advanced design and data analysis in quantitative and/or
qualitative research methods.
Core Requirements in Curriculum and Instruction
6 semester hours of courses (Interdisciplinary Research Seminar in
Curriculum and Instruction and Curriculum Theory and Practice) are required
as the Curriculum and Instruction core.
Practicum and Integrative/Professional Development Seminars
6 semester hours of research and University teaching internships are
required to broaden the training and experience of students.
Dissertation and Independent Research
24 semester units of dissertation and independent research leading to
completion of an approved dissertation are required.
Doctoral students are also encouraged to participate in the Preparing
Future Faculty Program offered by ASU's Graduate College. This program
consists of two semester hours in which students learn faculty roles and
responsibilities and participate in an ongoing series of integrative and
collaborative seminars coordinated with the Graduate College. Students have
the opportunity to develop and participate in interdisciplinary teaching,
research, and service activities.
