**M.A. in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics**
York University, Toronto, Canada
York University, as the third largest university in Canada, renowned
for its innovative research and teaching, offers 36 programmes at the
graduate level. September 1998 marks the opening of a new Master of
Arts programme in theoretical and applied linguistics, whose overall
focus will be language in context: variation, change, and pedagogy,
covering the fields of historical linguistics, sociolinguistics,
language contact and language education.
Applicants may apply for one of two streams:
Theoretical Stream historical linguistics sociolinguistics language
* contact
Applied Stream language education focussing on the teaching of English
* as a Second Langauge (TESL) and the teaching of English as a foreign
* language (TEFL) applied sociolinguistics language contact
Students may register for full-time or part-time study. Full-time
students will be able to complete their courses in three terms during
the space of one full year. Courses will be offered at times which
will be convenient for part-time students.
*Admission Requirements*
Note: The requirements listed below are the minimum academic
requirements. Details on other documentation required for admission
will be sent to interested applicants. Those who do not meet the
normal minimal requirements may be considered under exceptional
circumstances. Applicants whose first language is not English must
present a TOEFL score of 600.
Theoretical Stream: Honours B.A. in linguistics or equivalent with a
minimum of B+ average in the last two years of study, having adequate
background in historical linguistics, and an acceptable upper-year
one-term course in both syntax and phonology; OR an Honours degree in
another subject with a minimum average of B+ in the last two years of
study with some courses in linguistics. Applicants in the latter
category may be required to complete additional courses beyond the
Masters degree requirements.
Applied Stream: Honours degree with a minimum B+ average in the last
two years of study in an appropriate field PLUS a minimum of two years
of language teaching experience or equivalent, or two years of
English-medium instruction as evaluated by the graduate programmes
admissions committee.
*Degree Requirements*
M.A. degree by course work: six one-term courses plus a major research
paper/project. M.A. degree by course work plus thesis: four one-term
courses plus a thesis.
Students will concentrate on either the theoretical or the applied
stream, but certain courses are common to both streams.

graduate assistantships, and research assistantships are available to
qualified full-time students.
