BA in Applied Linguistics/TESL
At Brock University, Applied Linguistics involves the application of linguistic theories and methods of linguistic analysis in such areas as first or subsequent language acquisition, psycholinguistics, language teaching methodology, and speech, language and hearing sciences.
Linguistics focuses on language structure, first- and subsequent-language acquisition, the role of language in communication, and languages as products of cultures and other social groups. Linguists may or may not specialize in particular languages. Typically, they analyze similarities and differences among languages; such analyses can be used to develop, support or refute linguistic theories.
Linguistics provides an opportunity to apply scientific reasoning to language-based problem solving. A background in linguistics is essential for language teachers, translators, speech-language pathologists, audiologists and many other language professionals. Additionally, linguistic knowledge can provide a valuable foundation for human interaction and communication in a wide variety of fields.
The Department of Applied Linguistics offers programs of study leading to an Honours Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Applied Linguistics/Teaching English as a Subsequent Language, Hearing Sciences and Speech and Language Sciences.The Department also offers a four-year program of study leading to a BA with Major in Speech and Language Sciences, Pass BA degrees in Applied Linguistics, Hearing Sciences, and Speech and Language Sciences, and Certificates in Hearing Sciences, Speech and Language Sciences, and Teaching English as a Subsequent Language as well as a Minor in Applied Linguistics.
