The MAppLing program covers diverse Applied Linguistics subjects, investigating research methodologies for studying second and additional language acquisition, instruction, and usage.
You'll examine how linguistic identity forms, how lexical knowledge organizes itself, how language learning theories influence teaching methods, and techniques for evaluating proficiency in non-native languages.
Through the MAppLing curriculum, you'll develop advanced capabilities applicable to adjacent disciplines like linguistic evaluation, proficiency measurement, and educational language policy development.
For those considering academia, this program provides foundational preparation for doctoral studies both in New Zealand and internationally. Many PhD programs mandate a Master's thesis - an option you can integrate into your MAppLing studies.
