Course description:
The Ph.D. In English Language and Literature is a program that brings together teachers and scholars working on important overlapping areas of inquiry on pedagogical and interpretive approaches to language and literary studies foregrounding the conditions of possibilities for their production and reception. In teaching and language practices, the emphasis is on critical literacy and citizenship; in scholarship, the emphasis is on interpretative approaches. The research topics reflect the individual and/or professional interests of students and are inofrmed by extensive familiarity with theory, review of scholarship, and critical reflection on research data and texts. Focus is on the literary/cultural and language/linguistic frames in which specific scholarly and pedagogical practices becomes intelligible as acts with larger socio-political and intellectual implications especially for Philippine or other Asian contexts.

The program's mode of delivery is a combination of course work and research supervision (largely tutorial and research-based).
