Academic Program

The PhD program in second language acquisition (SLA) is administered by the Department of Second Language Studies. The graduate faculty of the program is interdisciplinary-drawn not only from the SLS department but also from faculty in the Departments of East Asian Languages and Literatures, Educational Psychology, English, Hawaiian and Indo-Pacific Languages and Literatures, Languages and Literatures of Europe and the Americas, Linguistics, and Psychology. The University also offers an MA in ESL (see the "Second Language Studies" section within the Colleges of Arts and Sciences for more information).

The courses in the program are organized into four areas of specialization:

1. Second Language Analysis-Structural analysis of learners' language development; comparison of native and nonnative languages; second-language varieties; differences arising from social and geographical contexts; phonological, grammatical, and discoursal properties; typological factors; putative universals.

2. Second Language Learning-Studies of the biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors in the language-learning process; the role of universals; interlanguages; the processes of comprehension and production.

3. Second Language Use-Studies of the social functions of second and foreign languages; pidgins, creoles, and dialect variation; roles of social and geographical contexts; pragmatics; discourse analysis; cross-cultural and inter-ethnic communication; sociopolitical factors.

4. Second Language Pedagogy-Research into language-learner needs (including immigrant needs); formulation of needs-based curriculum objectives and syllabi; computer-aided instruction; program administration; evaluation and language assessment.
