As research into the understanding and use of language is a major goal of all linguists, Applied Linguistics is an important strand of teaching and learning in our Linguistics Department.

We offer a diverse and thorough set of programs combining theory, training, and practice, which a former Vice President of TESOL, the North American professional organization of English Language teachers, acclaims as being among the best in Canada.

Completion of one of the UVic programs in Applied Linguistics is recognized by Canada TESL as sufficie

nt for the Level Two English Language Teaching Certificate.
