Description:

The Department of English at Fort Hays State University is pleased to announce
its new TESOL concentration within the MA in English program. Successful
graduates of this concentration are envisioned to be considered for employment
at our partner institutions in China: Sias International University and
Shenyang Normal University.

The TESOL concentration allows students to pursue coursework with a focus on
teaching English as a Foreign/Second Language. Graduate students in TESOL will
be required to complete 30 credit hours of course work. 

This includes 18 credit hours of course work:

- ENG 826: Approaches to Graduate Studies in English
- ENG 680: Intro to Linguistic Science
- ENG 685: Modern Grammar and Usage/Structure of English
- ENG 832: Second Language Acquisition
- ENG 813: Studies in English Pedagogy: TESOL Curriculum and Methods
- ENG 674: Practicum

and 12 credit hours of electives from a broad range of disciplines (applied
linguistics, rhetoric, literature, education, statistics). MA candidates in
TESOL have the option of completing a thesis in place of 3-6 credit hours of
elective coursework. They are also required to pass a comprehensive exam. With
careful planning, the program can be completed in one year (including the
summer semester).

The Department annually hires international faculty to teach our composition
(English 101 and 102) courses at our partner institutions: Sias International
University (Xinzheng, China) and Shenyang Normal University (Shenyang, China).
Upon completion of the MA in English, graduates of our TESOL concentration are
encouraged to apply for teaching positions at our partner institutions.
Continued multi-year employment in China might be possible subject to
satisfactory performance. In addition to post-graduation employment, the
Department might be able to assist MA students with remunerative practicum
opportunities — both in China and in the English Language Program on campus.

The Department also offers a limited number of highly competitive
assistantships, which primarily involves duties in the Writing Center. Each
assistantship carries a full tuition remission for 9 credit hours per semester
(excluding fees) and a stipend of $10,000 per year. Assistantship funding is
renewable for another year based on performance and availability. Tuition
reimbursement is at the in-state level only, and out-of-state and
international applicants should be prepared to cover the remainder of the
tuition bill. Please see https://www.fhsu.edu/academic/gradschl/tuition/ for
tuition and fees.

Requirements:

- Bachelor's degree in English or Linguistics from a regionally accredited
university or its equivalent.
- Non-native speakers of English must provide proof of their language
proficiency.

Application Deadline: 30-May-2016

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and 
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). 
For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial 
advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department 
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and 
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
