About the Program

The School of Linguistics and Language Studies offers a program of study leading to the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies. This program emphasizes the central role of language in all aspects of educational, professional and social endeavours, focusing on how language is used and how effective language abilities are developed in these contexts. Specific areas of research and study include:

  • Teaching English as a second and foreign language
  • Curriculum and methodology in second and foreign language teaching
  • Language learning and acquisition
  • Language assessment and testing
  • Writing and written genres in professional and academic contexts
  • Adult Literacy, including literacy in bilingual and multi-lingual contexts
  • Critical discourse analysis/systemic functional linguistics
  • Language policy

Students in the program can concentrate their studies in one of the following fields or, alternatively, they can create a unique synthesis of the two fields which suits their own goals, interests and purposes:

  • Applied Linguistics (the teaching and acquisition of additional languages)
  • Discourse Studies (the nature, acquisition and teaching of written discourse/literacies)

Academic Regulations

See the General Regulations section of this Calendar.

A standing of B- or better must be obtained in each credit counted towards the master's degree.

Admission Requirements

The normal minimum requirement for admission to the master's program is a B.A.(Honours) degree in a discipline involving the analysis of language or the study of language use or learning; or a 3 year B.A. in a relevant discipline together with a B.Ed. or C.T.E.S.L.

Students must have achieved high honours standing (a minimum of B+ in related courses and B overall) in their academic work.

Relevant professional experience may also enhance a candidate's application.

For other admission regulations not specific to the School of Linguistics and Language Studies, refer to the General Regulations section of the Graduate Calendar, in particular the subsection on Admission Requirements and Eligibility.

Program Requirements

Students will establish their programs in consultation with the School's supervisor of graduate studies.

Each candidate will select one of the following program paths:

Ph.D. Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies

About the Program

The School of Linguistics and Language Studies offers a program of study leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies. This program comprises the following two fields:

  • Applied Linguistics (the teaching and acquisition of additional languages)
  • Discourse Studies (the nature, acquisition and teaching of written discourse and literacies)

This doctoral program builds on the School's M.A. program, focusing how language is used and how effective abilities are developed in one's first or second language in specific educational, professional and social contexts. The program allows students to develop their own specialized topics of study and research within or across the following areas:

  • Teaching English as a second and foreign language
  • Curriculum and methodology in second and foreign language teaching
  • Language learning and acquisition
  • Language assessment and testing
  • Writing and written genres in professional and academic contexts
  • Adult Literacy, including literacy in bilingual and multi-lingual contexts
  • Critical discourse analysis/systemic functional linguistics
  • Language policy

Academic Regulations

See the General Regulations section of this Calendar, and in addition the following:

Candidates must maintain a grade point average of 10.0 or better throughout this program.

Residence requirement

Ph.D. candidates must normally be registered full-time in a minimum of six terms to satisfy the residence requirement. If a candidate is registered part-time, the minimum residence requirement is eight terms.

Guidelines for completion of Ph.D. degree

Full-time Ph.D. students are normally expected to complete their requirements in four calendar years. All part-time students must complete their requirements within a period of nine years, as set out in the General Regulations in the Graduate Calendar.

Admission Requirements

The normal requirement for admission to the Ph.D. program is a Master's Degree in Applied Language Studies, Applied Linguistics, Teaching English as a Second Language, Composition and Rhetoric, or an acceptable equivalent field, with at least an A- average (10 G.P.A.).

Applicants whose academic preparation has deficiencies in certain areas may be admitted to the Ph.D. program with the requirement that they take additional courses. Applicants who have completed an M.A. in the School of Linguistics and Language Studies or elsewhere with an outstanding grade point average (11.0 or above), who are deemed to have an excellent background in and knowledge of research in Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies at the Master's level, and who have a clear direction for their doctoral research, may be permitted to receive up to 2.0 credits of advanced standing of the first year's doctoral coursework requirement, with the possibility of moving directly into the second year of the program.

In addition to transcripts and letters of reference, applications will include a statement of interest outlining the applicant's proposed area of doctoral research and a representative sample of the applicant's academic writing.

Program Requirements

Program requirements for the Ph.D. are outlined in the General Regulations section of the Calendar. The specific program requirements for the doctoral program in Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies are 10.0 credits, to include:
