SLS is a dynamic interdisciplinary domain that explores diverse theoretical and practical aspects of second and foreign language acquisition, instruction, and application. Key questions we investigate include:
What factors contribute to varying language learning abilities among individuals
In what ways do first and second language acquisition processes compare or contrast
What strategies can improve our effectiveness as language learners and instructors
How can technological tools optimize language learning and teaching experiences
Furthermore, we analyze language through sociocultural lenses.
How does multilingualism foster diversity, cross-cultural exchange, and equitable opportunities in education and society
What significance do language policies and advocacy hold for local and international communities
In what ways does bilingualism or multilingualism shape personal identity and social connections
Our BA program enables students to concentrate on SLS specializations aligned with their aspirations. We're confident the SLS degree equips graduates with essential knowledge and competencies to thrive as language learners, educators, and professionals.

All official transcripts, examination certifications (e.g., General Certificate of Education) and other documents showing all high school and any completed post-secondary work must be submitted to the Office of Admissions. All official transcripts must be mailed directly by the institution or Ministry of Education to the Office of Admissions. Documents mailed or hand carried by you or anyone else will not be accepted as official or used for admission consideration.
Secondary school transcripts must include a list of courses taken and grades/internal marks received each year, class rank for the last four years of secondary school, and an explanation of the school's grading system. If transcripts with annual internal marks are unavailable directly from the school, you may photocopy your mark sheets or grade reports and have them certified by a school official who verifies that a transcript is otherwise not available.
