Our mission is to educate candidates in linguistics and applied linguistics in ways that will prepare them for careers in teaching, research, government, and the private sector. We do this within 快播视频\u2019s exciting academic and social environment. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We offer a one-year M.A. and a four-year Ph.D. program<\/strong> with specialization in Linguistics or Applied Linguistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Linguistics<\/strong>, students can focus on phonetics, phonology, morpho-syntax, psycholinguistics, generative approaches to first, second and heritage language acquisition, language documentation, or sociolinguistics (language variation and change, discourse analysis, language and gender, language and law).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Applied Linguistics<\/strong>, students can examine aspects of language teaching\/learning, second language acquisition, multilingual pedagogies, language for specific\/academic purposes, technology-mediated instruction, language policy\/planning and areas related to sociolinguistics (language and identity, language and power, language and social thought).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While linguistics and applied linguistics are the structural columns of the program, the program encourages interaction and cross-fertilization between areas of interest represented within the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> Students entering the MA and PhD programs commence in September. Our programs do not have winter or summer term start dates.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
