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. Rather than necessarily being expert in several languages, linguists employ methods of analysis that help to reveal similarities and differences among languages; from these analyses, linguistic theories are supported, refuted or derived. Applied linguistics, as we intend the term, involves the application of linguistic theories and methods of linguistic analysis; it includes the study of language acquisition among children and subsequent language learners, psycholinguistics, language teaching and speech, language and hearing sciences. A background in linguistics is essential for language teachers, translators, speech-language pathologists, audiologists and many other language professionals.

The Department of Applied Linguistics offers programs of study leading to an Honours Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Applied Linguistics/Teaching English as a Subsequent Language, Hearing Sciences and Speech and Language Sciences. As well, the BA Honours Applied Linguistics/Teaching English as a Subsequent Language program offers a Co-op option. Students may also elect a four-year program of study leading to a BA with Major Speech and Language Sciences. Pass BA degrees in Applied Linguistics, Hearing Sciences and Speech and Language Sciences are also available.

The four-year degree programs (Honours, BA with Major) give students the opportunity to prepare for employment or for admission to post-baccalaureate training in a variety of fields. Students who intend to pursue graduate study specifically in Audiology should complete the Honours Hearing Sciences program. Students who intend to pursue graduate study specifically in Speech-Language Pathology or a Bachelor of Education degree should complete the Honours Speech and Language Sciences program. The Department also offers programs of study leading to a Certificate for Communication Disorders Assistants and Certificates in Hearing Sciences, Speech and Language Sciences and Teaching English as a Subsequent Language. Students who intend to apply for admission to the Certificate for Communication Disorders Assistants program should complete the BA Pass Hearing Sciences or Speech and Language Sciences program. Courses concerning the structure of American Sign Language (ASL) and Academic English as a Subsequent Language are also offered.

Academic English as a Subsequent Language courses (AESL) are designed to enhance the English academic speaking and writing abilities of students whose native language is not English.

Students with below threshold scores on the TOEFL, TOEFL BT, TOEFL CBT, MELAB, IELTS or ITELP who have been accepted into Brock University academic programs are required by the Office of the Registrar, Admissions to register in AESL 1F82 in Year 1, with a strong recommendation that they take no more than four credits in addition to AESL 1F82 (see Proof of Profiency in English, Admissions).

The Department offers four majors in Applied Linguistics; Applied Linguistics/Teaching English as a Subsequent Language; Hearing Sciences; Speech and Language Sciences.

Applied Linguistics
Students have the opportunity to learn about theories concerning the analysis of language and their applications. Along with an introductory course in linguistics (LING 1F94), the Department offers foundation courses focussing 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.

Applied Linguistics/Teaching English as a Subsequent Language
This program provides background in theories and methodologies relevant to the learning and teaching of English as a subsequent language. Teaching English to non-English speakers is a complex process that requires an appropriate background in the theories and methodologies of language teaching and learning and a period of supervised teaching. For example, students have opportunities to learn about first- and second-language acquisition, the structure of English, language testing and methodologies for teaching specific language skills. Practice teaching is an essential feature of this program. A four-year co-op option is also available.

Graduating students from the Applied Linguistics/Teaching English as a Subsequent Language program normally are eligible for employment as teachers of English as a Subsequent Language in a variety of settings. Outstanding graduating students may be eligible for admission to graduate programs in Applied Linguistics(TESL).

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.

Hearing Sciences
Students in this major have 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, child language development and about selected disorders of human communication. Honours students have the opportunity to prepare for admission to masters or clinical doctorate programs in Audiology (AuD); admissions to graduate schools are, however, offered only on a competitive basis. The minimum qualification to practice Audiology in Canada and the United States is currently a Master's degree.

Speech and Language Sciences
Students in this major have the opportunity to learn about basic sciences (e.g, biology), basic communication processes, including the anatomy and physiology of speech and hearing, acoustics, linguistics, 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; admissions to graduate schools are, however, offered only on a competitive basis. The minimum qualification to practice Speech-Language Pathology in Canada and the United States is a Master's degree.

Students in the Hearing Sciences and Speech and Language Sciences BA Pass programs have the opportunity to prepare for admission to post-baccalaureate training as Communication Disorders Assistants (CDAs), or for admission to a Faculty of Education.

Students wishing to major in any of the programs of study offered by the Department of Applied Linguistics must apply to declare their major. Declaration of Major forms are available on-line at http://www.brocku.ca/registrar/forms/index.html and from the Office of the Registrar. 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 Linguistics believe that students benefit from a broadly based liberal arts background in conjunction with a Major in Applied Linguistics, Applied Linguistics/Teaching English as a Subsequent Language, Hearing Sciences or Speech and Language Sciences. 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 Honours degree must apply to be admitted to Year 4 after completing 15 credits. Application forms for Year 4 admission are available on-line at http://www.brocku.ca/registrar/forms/index.html and in the Office of the Registrar.

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 Major are a minimum 60 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent overall average.

Co-op Program
The Applied Linguistics/Teaching English as a Subsequent Language Co-op program combines academic and two volunteer work placements in language-rich environments over a four-year period. Students spend two years in an academic setting prior to taking the first work placement. In addition to the current fees for courses in academic study terms, Applied Linguistics/Teaching English as a Subsequent Language Co-op students are assessed an annual administrative fee (see Schedule of Fees).

Eligibility to continue is based on the student's major average and non-major average. Students with a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average will be permitted to continue in the program. Students with a major average lower than 70 percent may not continue in the Applied Linguistics/Teaching English as a Subsequent Language Co-op program, but may continue in the regular Applied Linguistics/Teaching English as a Subsequent Language program. If a student subsequently raises his/her major average to 70 percent, the student may be readmitted only if approved by the Co-op Admissions Committee.

The Applied Linguistics/Teaching English as a Subsequent Language Co-op designation will be awarded to those students who have honours standing and who have successfully completed the two Co-op placements.

Language Requirement for Humanities Majors

Except for Applied Linguistics and Child and Youth Studies Combined majors, students in the Department of Applied Linguistics 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 (Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Mohawk) or American Sign Language courses are recommended.

Program Notes

Certificate Program

The Department of Applied Linguistics offers a Certificate for Communication Disorders Assistants, a Certificate in Hearing Sciences, a Certificate in Speech and Language Sciences and a Certificate in Teaching English as a Subsequent Language (TESL/TEFL) for those individuals who already possess an undergraduate degree.

Certificate for Communication Disorders Assistants

Communication Disorders Assistants (also called Communicative 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 screening (without interpretation) for speech, language and hearing disorders, 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. Communication 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 was designed to reflect descriptions of training requirements for supportive personnel published by the Canadian Association of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists (CASLPA), the College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario (CASLPO) and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).

Students and graduates of this certificate program are normally eligible to join the Communicative Disorders Assistants Association of Canada (CDAAC) as student members and full members, respectively. Students and graduates of this certificate program are also eligible to join CASLPA as student supportive personnel members.

Students may apply to the program after completing the Hearing Sciences BA Pass degree or Speech and Language Sciences BA Pass degree or equivalent. Enrolment is limited; consequently, applicants with a minimum major average may not be admitted. Applicants must submit a résumé, official transcript(s), a letter of intent, and two letters of reference (see the Department website for further details).

The following prospective students for the Certificate for Communication Disorders Assistants program are strongly advised to contact the Department: (a) Individuals who are currently working as supportive personnel by virtue of a "grandparenting" clause; and (b) Individuals who have an undergraduate degree in a major other than Hearing Sciences or Speech and Language Sciences and who are uncertain about the equivalency of their academic background.

Field placements are full-time and represent an integral component of this certificate program; students must therefore be available for and must successfully complete all placements to graduate.

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

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

·	LING 0N30, 0N31, 0N32, 2P99, 4P18, 4P21, 4P27, 4P31, 4P32 and 4P35
·	CHYS 2P35
·	one of CHYS 3P20, 3P35, 3P43, 3P47, 3P60
·	one-half elective credit (WRIT 1P96 strongly recommended)

Certificate in Hearing Sciences

Students may apply to the program after completing a BA or BSc degree in any discipline (other than communication sciences) with a minimum 75 percent major average.

Students in this program have the opportunity to prepare for application to graduate study in Audiology by completing a selection of prerequisite courses, admissions to graduate schools are, however, offered only on a competitive basis. Students who graduate from the Certificate in Hearing Sciences 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.
