About this course

As language assumes ever greater importance in an interconnected, multilingual world, the study of linguistics and applied linguistics is relevant to a growing number of careers from language teaching to natural language processing. In the Graduate Certificate of General and Applied Linguistics, you will have the opportunity to explore selected topics across general and applied linguistics areas such as structural linguistics, sociolinguistics, language acquisition, language contact, language teaching, language and culture, social interaction, forensic linguistics and language documentation. The program explores questions such as:

How do we learn language?

What are effective ways of teaching languages?

In what ways are languages different and similar?

How and why does language change over time?

How are language and culture connected?

The program is well-suited to people wishing to expand their knowledge about language for professional development, as well as to those who are considering further study. The Graduate Certificate also offers the option of studying a language for people wishing to develop their proficiency in an additional language or even to start learning a new language. Language teachers can customise the program so that it encompasses both practical and theoretical dimensions of their professional development. This Graduate Certificate can be completed as a stand alone award, or as a pathway into the Master of General and Applied Linguistics.
