About Us
Inside English is a publication of TYCA Pacific Coast, formerly the English Council of California Two-Year Colleges (ECCTYC), a professional organization whose membership includes departments of English and their faculty in all public and private two-year colleges in California, including the 116 state community colleges. TYCA Pacific Coast also represents California two-year college English faculty at the national level as the Pacific Coast Region in the Two-Year College English Association and is part of the College Section of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).
Inside English supports TYCA Pacific Coast’s goals by publishing articles focused on teaching writing, reading and problem-solving, particularly in composition, literature, creative writing, English language courses, and college writing centers. We are actively seeking pieces that describe transformative professional learning practices and effective classroom strategies, as well as opinion pieces that respond to the challenges and complexities of the community college teaching experience. Overall, our goal is to continually ask and investigate the question: how do we get better at what we do?
The purpose of TYCA Pacific Coast is to advance English teaching and learning in the two-year college by providing opportunities for the exchange of discipline information, promoting professional interaction and growth among its members, and articulating concerns of the discipline to professional and policy-making groups.
