Overview of Ph.D. in ELE

The Ph.D. in ELE is currently of two tracks: Ph.D. with coursework plus dissertation and Ph.D. by research. The Ph.D. program has contributed to developing English Language Education and scholarship in Indonesia for some 40 years. As such, it has also been contributing to the development of ELE worldwide through direct and indirect activities such as seminars and other academic and professional fora.

The Department of English was founded in 1954 as the Department of English Language and Literature. Since then, it has undergone several changes, both in terms of the curriculum and its identity. In 1968, the Institute for Teacher Training and Education, Malang (at present Universitas Negeri Malang) initiated higher education for Doktorandus to obtain a doctoral degree through the Doctoral Program (Strata 3 or Ph.D.), Institute for Teacher Training and Education, Malang. The establishment of the Doctoral Program was based on the regulation of the Minister of Higher Education and Science no. 19, dated July 20, 1962.

In 1980, the graduate education was split into Doctoral Degree (S3 or Ph.D.) Programs and Master’s Degree (S2 or M.Ed.) Programs. Accordingly, Universitas Negeri Malang started to offer Master’s Degree Programs in Education (1980), according to the Presidential Decree of the Republic of Indonesia No.60/1982, dated September 7, 1982, and the Doctoral Study Programs were officially converted to the Master’s and Doctoral Programs (PDP). One year later, with the Ministry of Education and Culture Decree No. 0146/0/1983, dated March 5, 1983, the PDP was changed to the Graduate Faculty. Subsequently, with the Government Regulation N0. 30, 1990, the Graduate Faculty was further restructured from Faculty to Program, with the new name of Graduate Program.

The program has been home to reputed tenured faculty members who have made a wide range of contributions through several roles they play at the local, national, and international levels. Some faculty members and graduates have made contributions through their appointments at the SEAMEO, RELC, and universities in Japan and Australia. Some others have been external reviewers and examiners for promotion to professorship and examiners of PhD theses across Australia and Asia.

Taking into account recent trends and policies, the curriculum of the Ph.D. in ELE is developed in view of the capability of the graduates in the gamut of ELT and, the research capability within the discipline, and the ensuing ability to disseminate and communicate their capability to the relevant discourse community and Community in general.

The curriculum of the Ph.D. in (ELE) has been revised and reconstructed in accordance with the new policy of Kerangka Kualifikasi Nasional Indonesia (Indonesia National Qualification Framework) 2012. The curriculum description starts with the Accreditation Status, the Scientific Vision, Mission, and Objectives of the Ph.D. in ELE, followed by the graduate profile, and then Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs). The curriculum structure (encompassing both for the coursework and research-based) is presented to show the distribution of the courses in the program.
