We want to announce a new concentration in Language Acquisition 
and Bilingualism, housed in the departments of Linguistics and 
Psychology at the University of Texas at El Paso. Please see the 
program website: http://academics.utep.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=47115 
and the description below for more information.

The Language Acquisition and Bilingualism (LAB) Ph.D. concentration 
is a new option for students who wish to gain solid training in both 
psychological and linguistic theory and methodology. The program 
offers students advanced training in the research methods of 
psychology, particularly those relevant to the study of language, and in 
the theory and description of linguistic structure, which will significantly 
enhance their language-oriented research. Students have the 
opportunity to complete the M.A. degree in either Psychology or 
Linguistics on the path to the Ph.D. in Psychology, depending on 
coursework and research options selected.

UTEP is situated within the world's largest bi-national urban area and 
less than one mile from the U.S.-Mexico border. The environment is 
primarily bilingual, with English and Spanish being the primary 
languages. Many local residents and UTEP students are bilingual from 
an early age, whereas many others are in various stages of learning a 
second language. That is, here we encounter the full range of behavior 
relevant to the study of language acquisition (first and second 
languages in both children and adults) and bilingualism (the possible 
interaction of two languages and its behavioral and social 
consequences).
