Taking the course next year or even next semester? Here are a few things to keep in mind when planning your course schedule:
• Get your pre-requisite courses done. An understanding of the theories and issues dealing with Applied Linguistics is key to your success in LING 376.
• Have free time. Have at least one morning or one afternoon per week in which you are free – no classes, work, or other commitments – so you can devote time to your practicum.
• Get to know Emily, the Applied Linguistics Academic Assistant for Ling 374 and 376. She will be organizing and placing students in each practicum, so the better she knows you and your interests, the easier she can place you. Make an appointment or email questions to her at alassist@uvic.ca
• Think about your interests in Applied Linguistics. Are there certain aspects that interest you? Is it possible to be placed in a practicum that relates to your interests?
• Be prepared. As a practicum student, you will be representing the Applied Linguistics Program and the University of Victoria. Understand what is expected of Practicum Students by checking out the Current Students link.
