Master of Arts/Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature - Applied Linguistics

In Comparative Literature, students need to demonstrate competency in two foreign languages. Two of the learning outcomes in the area of core knowledge include the ability of our graduate students to ?demonstrate advanced written and oral fluency of a foreign language relevant to their major field, and the ability to read scholarly works in the foreign language(s) relevant to their second major field and/or minor field? as well as ?demonstrate an informed appreciation of cross-cultural interconnections and diversity of literatures and cultures across time and space.? In addition, one of the learning outcomes in the area of pedagogy includes the ability of graduate students to ?foster in their students the ability to think critically and construct cogent arguments in their writing, in a foreign language as well as English.? Training in applied linguistics is one of the rigorous ways to help fulfill these learning objectives. Completing the curriculum in the Applied Linguistic Emphasis allows students to satisfy in a rigorous manner some of their learning objectives and demonstrate competence in important areas that are all related to their teaching and research, such as language education, bilingualism, biliteracy, language assessment, translation as well as rhetoric and composition. Such competencies have become absolutely crucial for employment. Moreover, given the ever-increasing number of second language learners at the K-12 levels, teachers need to enhance their understanding of language learning and teaching theories and practices.
