The MAppLing program offers comprehensive exploration of Applied Linguistics, covering diverse subjects such as conducting research on second and additional language use, learning, and instruction.
You'll examine how linguistic identity forms, how lexical knowledge organizes language understanding, how language acquisition theories influence teaching methods, and how to evaluate proficiency in secondary languages.
Through the MAppLing curriculum, you'll develop advanced competencies applicable to adjacent disciplines like linguistic evaluation, proficiency measurement, and educational language policy development.
For those considering academic advancement, this program provides foundational preparation for doctoral studies both in New Zealand and internationally. Many PhD programs mandate a Master's thesis - an academic requirement you can fulfill through your MAppLing studies.
