Throughout the history of the two-year college, those teaching and studying within its classrooms have been marginalized. The term "borderland" has been used to describe this marginalization and to discuss the sense of living in two different worlds---the public and the academic. This study reviews one such borderland, investigating through case study to determine whether or not the teachers within the borderland are out of date with their pedagogical and theoretical approaches to teaching first-year composition and to determine what can and should be done to alleviate the stress these borderland dwellers feel about crossing into more traditionally academic spaces through publications and professional presentations.

520 $a Throughout the history of the two-year college, those teaching and studying within its classrooms have been marginalized. The term "borderland" has been used to describe this marginalization and to discuss the sense of living in two different worlds---the public and the academic. This study reviews one such borderland, investigating through case study to determine whether or not the teachers within the borderland are out of date with their pedagogical and theoretical approaches to teaching first-year composition and to determine what can and should be done to alleviate the stress these borderland dwellers feel about crossing into more traditionally academic spaces through publications and professional presentations.
520 $a While the department investigated in the case study employs professors with both generalist (Master of Arts) and specialist (PhD) degrees, many instructors lack training in composition theory and practice, a vital area for teaching successfully in the two-year college. Because of this lack of training, some terminology and some theories have been misapplied in the department. Classroom teaching should be based upon relevant and current scholarship and research in the field. Encouraging two-year college English teachers to become teacher-scholars, or hybrid academics who focus on teaching that is based upon scholarly research and who report their own classroom experiences through presentations and publications, is the solution.
