Doktor (Ph.D.) in English Language Education

Overview of Ph.D. in ELE

The Doctorate Program in English Language Education (ELE) has been contributing to the development of English Language Education and scholarship in Indonesia for over forty years. In such a way, it has been contributing to the development of ELE globally through both activities such as seminar 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.). 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 program was split into Doctoral Degree (S3 or Ph.D.) Programs and Master’s Degree (S2 or M.A.) Programs. Accordingly, Universitas Negeri Malang started to offer Master’s Degree Programs in Education (1980), pursuant 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 Decree of the Ministry of Education and Culture 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 with a wide range of contributions through a number of roles they play at the local, national, and international arenas. Some of the faculty members and graduates have made their 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 thesis across Australia and Asia.

Taking into account recent trends and policies, the curriculum of Ph.D. in ELE is developed in view of the capability of the graduates in the gamut of ELE 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.
