Description:

The School of Languages and Cultures has grown rapidly in recent years and now

Spanish and English as an International Language (EIL), as well as Linguistics
and Applied Linguistics, to students in the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of
International Studies, the university-wide concurrent Diploma in Languages,
the Diploma of Arts, and dual degree programs.

At postgraduate level the School offers two NAATI-accredited Masters programs
in Translation and Interpreting (one in Japanese and one in Chinese) and a
large Masters program in Applied Linguistics. Staff research and supervise PhD

The Linguistics Program aims to develop theoretical knowledge and analytic
skills in two inter-related strands of the Linguistics discipline that feature
key research strengths in the School: the structure of language (e.g. through
the study of speech sounds, word and sentence structural patterns), and the
use of language (e.g. through the study of language variability, language as
action, and conversation analysis). There is a strong emphasis on Australian
Indigenous languages in the teaching and research programs in linguistics.
