| Faculty: | School of Linguistics and Language Studies |
| Description: | Our PhD program is housed in the School of Linguistics and Languages Studies (SLaLS). Emphasizing the central role that language plays in educational, workplace, community, and other social contexts the doctoral program focuses on the following four areas: second and foreign language teaching and learning, including Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL); the nature, learning, and teaching of written discourse and literacies; and the analysis of written, oral, and multimodal discourse. Our students can draw on one or both of two fields, Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies, to suit their own study and research goals. Our PhD program is unique in North America as these two fields are typically housed in different departments or faculties at other universities.
