Abstract：The proposal by Shulman and his colleagues to identify the signature pedagogy of EdD degrees has led many researchers to engage in identifying the signature pedagogy of doctoral programmes of varied disciplines.Most research，however，focuses on the pedagogy in plan，leaving a research gap on implemented signature pedagogy.This paper contributes to filling the gap by analysing a PhD programme as implemented using a “successful” Applied Linguistics programme as a case.Analysing the shared，implemented pedagogy in a weekly research seminar series and PhD supervision，this paper makes a unique contribution of capturing the signature pedagogy，in particular，the subtle and intangible processes，which a doctoral programme uses to guide its peripheral members to become fully-fledged academics.
