Notes

By appropriate selection from the elective units and, where selected, by the specific direction of the dissertation, it is possible for particular professional interests to be identified within the overall program structure. Examples include: mother tongue and EFL/ESL curriculum development; lexicography; human communication disorders; professional client communication; stylistics and the teaching of literature; language planning and language policy; language program management; testing and evaluation; first and second language acquisition, maintenance and loss. Students wishing to enrol in the dissertation must first obtain approval from the program convenor. It is expected that students achieve the grade of CREDIT or above in their coursework units if they are intending to enrol in the dissertation option. Students who intend, or may consider at some future time, continuing on to do either a Master of Arts (Honours), a Doctor of Philosophy or Doctor of Applied Linguistics degree are strongly encouraged to opt for the dissertation. *Please note: A different tuition fee rate applies to International students.
