Linguistics is concerned with the systematic study of language structure, the acquisition of first and subsequent languages, the role of language in communication, and the status of language as the product of particular cultures and other social groups. A background in linguistics is essential for language teachers, translators, speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and many other language professionals.

The Department of Applied Language Studies offers programs of study leading to an Honours degree with specializations in Pre-Professional Speech-Language Pathology, Pre-Professional Audiology, Teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language (TESL), or Applied Linguistics. Students may also elect a four-year program of study leading to a BA with a Major in Applied Language Studies, with specialization in Pre-Professional Speech-Language Pathology. Pass BA degrees in Applied Language Studies are also available, with specialization in Pre-Professional Speech-Language Pathology or Applied Linguistics. The four-year degree programs (Honours, BA with a Major) give students the opportunity to prepare for employment (e.g., TESL) or for admission to post-baccalaureate training in a variety of fields. Students who intend to pursue a BEd degree or graduate study specifically in Speech-Language Pathology or Audiology should complete the Honours program. The Department also offers a Communicative Disorders Assistants Certificate, a Pre-Professional Certificate in Speech-Language Pathology or Audiology and a Certificate in Teaching English as a Second Language/Foreign Language. Courses concerning the structure of American Sign Language and English as a Second Language/Subsequent Language are also offered.

English As A Second Language courses (APLS) are designed to enhance and develop the English speaking and writing ability of students whose native language is not English.

Students with scores below TOEFL 580, TOEFL CBT 237, MELAB 90, IELTS 7.0 who have been accepted into academic programs are required to register in APLS 1P90 and APLS 1P91 in Year 1 along with no more than four credits.

The Department offers four streams, allowing students to specialize in Pre-Professional Speech-Language Pathology, Pre-Professional Audiology, Teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language, or Applied Linguistics. Students must choose one of the four streams by the end of Year 1.

Pre-Professional Speech-Language Pathology Stream

This stream provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to learn about basic communication processes, including the anatomy and physiology of speech and hearing, acoustics, linguistics, and child language development, and about selected disorders of human communication. Honours students have the opportunity to prepare for admission to graduate study in speech-language pathology. The minimum qualification to practise speech-language pathology in Canada and the United States is a Master's degree. Students in the four-year BA with a Major and Pass BA programs have the opportunity to prepare for admission to post-baccalaureate training as Communicative Disorders Assistants.

Pre-Professional Audiology Stream

This stream provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to learn about basic sciences (e.g., biology, physics), basic communication processes, including the anatomy and physiology of speech and hearing, acoustics, linguistics, and child language development, and about selected disorders of human communication. Honours students have the opportunity to prepare for admission to clinical doctorate (AuD) programs in audiology. The minimum qualification to practice audiology in Canada and the United States is currently a Master's degree.

Teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language (TESL) Stream (Honours only)

This stream is offered as a four-year Honours program and provides background in theories and methodologies relevant to the learning and teaching of English as a second or foreign language.

Students interested in teaching language in the Ontario school system should consult the Ministry of Education and Training guidelines. In those guidelines, "Language Courses" mean English or any teachable (modern language) subject.

Applied Linguistics Stream

This stream offers students the opportunity to learn about the analysis of language. Along with an introductory course in linguistics (LING 1F94), the Department offers foundation courses focusing on the sounds of language (phonetics and phonology), relationships among words in language (syntax), mutual influence between culture (and other group membership) and language (sociolinguistics), and ways in which language is used in context (pragmatics and discourse analysis) and is acquired.

Students who wish to major in Applied Language Studies (in any area of specialization) must apply to declare their major. Declaration of Major forms are available from the Office of the Registrar and on-line at http://www.brocku.ca/registrar/forms/index.html. Students in three- and four-year degree programs normally register for courses according to the program of study effective at the time they first declared their major.

The faculty of the Department of Applied Language Studies believes that students benefit from a broadly based liberal arts background in conjunction with a major in Applied Language Studies. Honours students are therefore encouraged to acquire some background in other academic disciplines as part of their undergraduate education. Students who wish to pursue a four-year degree (Honours and BA with a Major) must apply to be admitted to Year 4 after completing 15 credits. Application forms for Year 4 admission are available in the Office of the Registrar and on-line at http://www.brocku.ca/registrar/forms/index.html.

The requirements for graduation with a BA (Honours) are a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average. The requirements for a BA with a Major are a minimum 60 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent overall average.

Language Requirement for Humanities Majors

Students in the Department of Applied Language Studies are required to complete one credit in a language other than English. Where half credit courses are used to satisfy the requirement, both half credits must be in the same language. Non-Indo-European language courses (such as Mandarin Chinese or Japanese) or Sign Language courses are recommended.

Certificate Programs

The Department of Applied Language Studies offers a Pre-Professional Certificate in Speech-Language Pathology, a Pre-Professional Certificate in Audiology, a Communicative Disorders Assistants Certificate and a Certificate in Teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language (TESL/TEFL) for those who already possess an undergraduate degree.

Pre-Professional Certificate in Speech-Language Pathology

Students are given the opportunity to prepare for application to graduate study in speech-language pathology by completing a selection of prerequisite courses. Students who graduate from the Speech-Language Pathology stream are not yet qualified to evaluate or treat individuals with speech, language or swallowing disorders, nor are they qualified in any capacity for work in the provision of clinical services unless supervised by a Speech-Language Pathologist. Prospective students are advised to consult the department's Undergraduate Co-ordinator before registering for any LING courses.

The certificate is awarded upon completion of the following courses with an overall average of 70 percent:

LING 1F91, 2P50, 2P90, 2P91, 3P61, 3P90, 3P97, 4P20 and 4P21

Extra credits may be taken in the same year with permission from the Dean of Humanities. In view of probable graduate-school entry requirements, one or more of LING 1F94, 3P51, PSYC 1F90, 2F12, 2F23, CHSC 2P09 may be recommended as extra courses, depending on individual students' previous course work.

Pre-Professional Certificate in Audiology

Students are given the opportunity to prepare for application to graduate study in audiology by completing a selection of prerequisite courses. Students who graduate from the Pre-Professional Audiology stream are not yet qualified to evaluate or treat individuals with hearing or vestibular disorders, nor are they qualified in any capacity for work in supervised or unsupervised provision of clinical services. Students with a non-science background may take longer to complete all of the prerequisites for the doctorate in audiology. Prospective students are therefore advised to consult the department's Undergraduate Co-ordinator before registering for any LING courses.

The certificate is awarded upon completion of the following courses with an overall average of 70 percent:

LING 1F91, 2P50, 2P90, 2P91, 3P61, 3P90, 3P97, 4P20 and 4P21

Extra credits may be taken in the same year with permission from the Dean of Humanities. In view of probable graduate-school entry requirements, one or more of LING 1F94, 3P51, 4P27, BIOL 1F90, CHEM 1F92, PHYS 1P91, 1P92, 1P93, 2P31, 2P92, PSYC 2F23, 2F36 may be recommended as extra courses, depending on individual students' previous course work.

Communicative Disorders Assistants Certificate

Communicative Disorders Assistants (also called Communication Disorders Assistants, Speech-Language Pathology Assistants, or Audiology Assistants) are supportive personnel who work under the supervision of Speech-Language Pathologists or Audiologists. Their duties typically include preparing therapy materials for adults and/or children who have communication and/or swallowing disorders, conducting individual and/or group therapy sessions, reporting on therapy outcomes, and carrying out routine maintenance on clinical equipment. Communicative Disorders Assistants (CDAs) are employed in the same settings as Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists, including hospitals, school boards, specialized rehabilitation centres, and private practice.

The program is designed to inform students about therapeutic principles and approaches that are applicable to a variety of communication disorders, and to prepare them for employment as CDAs. This program has been designed to reflect descriptions of suportive personnel from the College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario (CASLPO) and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).

Students may apply to the program after completing the Pre-Professional Speech-Language Pathology stream degree, Audiology stream degree or equivalent with an minimum overall average of 60 percent. Enrolment is limited. Applicants must submit a resume, official transcript(s), a letter of intent, and two letters of reference. Prospective students should contact the Department for additional information.

Field placements are an integral component of this certificate program; students must successfully complete both placements (held after the completion of all credit courses) to graduate.

The certificate is awarded upon completion of the following courses with an overall average of 60 percent:

	LING 0N01, 0N02, 4P20, 4P21, 4P27, 4P31, 4P32 and 4P35
	one credit from CHYS 2F01, 2P35, 3P20, 3P25, 3P35
	one elective credit (COSC 1P95 and WRIT 1P80 strongly recommended)

Depending on students' background preparation, they may be required to take additional courses. Extra credits may be taken in the same year with permission from the Dean of Humanities.
