Korean Job Discussion Forums

[Keepongoing]

I am applying for a summer program at Indiana University Pennsylvania. They have a Phd in Tesol and Composition. I am not sure if my university will release early in the Spring semester to do the full 10 weeks. The time may not always coincide and are breaks are shy of 10 weeks. I will wait to see if I get accepted and then I will approach my department head. I imagine most of the ones here have already done the course work and are just working on their dissertations?????

I am/was doing a PhD in English in Ireland (taking a break due to poverty), and I never had to do "coursework" as such. I know that the American system is different-I think they call it "modularisation", but you might be able to talk to your supervisor about using your teaching experience in Korea for some kind of credits. Or, you could just write some articles (which is my plan), and when you go back to America, do all the modules that were necessary and write your thesis. Again, I don't know what the system is in America, but if you have to take classes and do research at the same time, it can't be 60-80,000 words like it is at home. Or can it?
