Research in the Teaching of English

The College Section of NCTE supports the exploration of English Studies in a variety of collegiate settings that include higher education institutions and early colleges.  We are educators who teach English, composition, and literacy studies across the disciplines in colleges and universities, especially to undergraduate students.  

New College Level Books

On Multimodality: New Media in Composition Studies Jonathan Alexander and Jacqueline Rhodes argue that composition’s embrace of new media and multimedia often makes those media serve the rhetorical ends of writing and composition, as opposed to exploring the rhetorical capabilities of those media. CCCC/NCTE Studies in Writing & Rhetoric (SWR) series.

Students' Right to Their Own Language: A Critical Sourcebook This critical sourcebook revisits the complexities of one of the most controversial statements in CCCC history. Perspectives are collected from some of the field's most influential scholars to provide a foundation for understanding the historical and theoretical context informing the affirmation of all students' right to exist in their own languages.
