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 the 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 sufficient for the Level 1 English Language Teaching Certificate.
Undergraduates in the Linguistics Department can work towards a B.A. in Applied Linguistics. Those who already hold a first degree can register for the Diploma in Applied Linguistics. In addition, it is possible to earn an M.A. or Ph.D. in this specialization.
