Applied Linguistics (concentration)
Interdisciplinary Doctor of Philosophy in Education (Ph.D.) Program

The Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Education: Applied Linguistics concentration prepares students to study ways in which languages – and in particular second or additional languages – are used, taught, and learned in today’s increasingly globalized and multilingual world. The program promotes significant research on the teaching and learning of additional languages, including but not limited to English, and on the interaction between language ideologies and practices in multilingual communities and societies. Students gain theoretical grounding, research experiences, and academic skills that prepare them for academic research positions in the areas of Applied Linguistics, Second and Foreign Language Education, and TESOL, as well as for other academic and practice-oriented positions.

Core Faculty: Yasuko Kanno (Ph.D., Ontario Institute for Studies in Education), Aneta Pavlenko (Ph.D., Cornell University), Jill Swavely (Ed.D., Temple University), Elvis Wagner (Ed.D., Teachers College, Columbia University)
