Results of a survey of graduate English departments (Association of Departments of English), responses of young junior college English instructors to a request to assess their preparation (National Junior College English Study), and tentative recommendations for junior college teacher preparation (National Junior College English Study) are presented. Instructor opinions receive particular attention, with excerpts on (1) lack of preparation to teach composition, (2) lack of practical instruction on how to teach, and (3) lack of preparation for the junior college student. Graduate English department survey data concern the number of special junior college teacher preparation programs, sharing of teacher preparation with education departments, supervised teaching and internship on a junior college campus, and teacher intern remuneration. Recommendations concern breadth of teacher training and relations between the graduate English departments and junior college English departments. For a related document see TE 500 591. (AF)
