Indiana State University is offering a two-year, fully funded Graduate
Assistantship position within the Master of Arts in TESL and Linguistics
program. This position includes a tuition waiver and stipend for a graduate
teaching or research assistant. We are seeking a candidate who can teach
either English as a Second Language (ESL) or a beginning foreign language at
the undergraduate level. For language instruction, we require advanced level
proficiency in the language of instruction. In the area of foreign language
instruction, we are seeking a candidate with one of the following languages:
French, German, Japanese, Korean, or Spanish. Special consideration will be
given to Indiana residents but applications are open to any interested
student.

As a graduate student in the Master of Arts TESL and Linguistics program, you
will be a full-time student earning 33 credits (taking a maximum of 9 credits
per semester) over 2 years. Our TESL area focuses on the acquisition and
teaching of languages, especially English as a second language. Courses
include a mixture of hands-on practical teaching and theory. Course offerings
in the area of linguistics include applied linguistics, language acquisition,
phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, sociolinguistics, fieldwork,
research methods, and various special topics courses.

Our MA program prepares students for careers in teaching and education,
industry, government, and non-profit organizations, as well as continuing
study at the PhD level in TESL, Linguistics, Second Language Studies, and
related fields. Additionally, our department promotes experiential learning
and strives to offer community engagement related to linguistics. 
The smaller size of our program allows for high levels of interaction between
students and faculty with many opportunities for research projects and
involvement in various campus organizations. The department specializes in
research related to second language acquisition (Drs. D’Amico and Sterling)
and sociolingusitics and dialectology (Drs. Bakos and Jose) and has several
ongoing collaborative research agendas with actively engaged students. Several
of our recent graduates have presented their work at national conferences such
as the American Association of Applied Linguistics and New Ways of Analyzing
Variation (NWAV). In select cases, these presentations have led to
publications with faculty in academic journals.

To apply please complete the online application found at the web address for
applications below.

Your application must include:

1. A resume or CV
2. A personal statement/letter of intent
3. All transcripts from your undergraduate institution(s)
4. A list of three academic references with name, job title,
affiliation/school, and contact information for each reference
5. Proof of English proficiency for speakers of English as a second language
(i.e. TOEFL, ELS, or IELTS scores) – for full list of acceptable proof of
English proficiency see the list at
https://www.indstate.edu/cgps/graduate/apply/international-degree-seeking-appl
ication
The graduate teaching assistantship will be guaranteed for two years, provided
that the student is in good standing and making sufficient academic progress
after the first academic year.
