PROPOSAL FOR AN APPLIED LINGUISTICS Ph.D. MINOR

Submitted by:

John Baugh, School of Education &, by courtesy, Department of Linguistics

Elizabeth Benhardt, Director: Stanford University Language Center

Peter Sells, Department of Linguistics

 

Overview and motivation for the minor.

Applied Linguistics is an interdisciplinary field which examines and

explores language as it pertains to teaching, learning, translation, education and language policies. Stanford University has a long tradition

of contributing to the field of Applied Linguistics. One of our most eminent scholars, the late Charles Ferguson, established the Center for Applied Linguistics in Washington, DC, and others, such as Robert Politzer, contributed significantly to the field.

Several forces have converged to justify the establishment of a program. In 1995, the Commission on Undergraduate Education established the Stanford Language Center and charged it with the improvement of all dimensions of language teaching at Stanford. Locally, graduate students in the national literature departments who are charged with a substantial portion of undergraduate teaching are receiving more rigorous training and more substantive knowledge about the process of second language acquisition. They have begun participating in professional applied linguistics meetings and have requested additional coursework in the area.

More recently an external review of the Department of Linguistics commended efforts to create an interdisciplinary Ph.D. minor in Applied Linguistics, which draws upon expertise from scholars within the School of Education and the School of Humanities and Sciences.

Nationally and internationally professional prospects for graduate students who are trained in various dimensions of Applied Linguistics remains high within and beyond academia. In 1997-1998, approximately 70% of the Assistant Professor openings in the Modern Language Association job list included a knowledge of applied linguistics as either a required or desirable skill on the part of successful candidates. Various states have also devoted more attention to the education of students from diverse linguistic backgrounds, as have many philanthropic organizations. Doctoral students who complete the Ph.D. minor in applied linguistics will be prime candidates for many of these positions.

 

The Overall Structure of the Minor:

1. Requirements: Each candidate must complete no less than 30 units of

unduplicated course work, including Linguistics 201 (Foundations of

Linguistic Analysis [4 units]). An additional 26 units of unduplicated coursework must be completed in consultation with a faculty advisor and subsequent approval of the applied linguistics steering committee. At least one additional Linguistics course, from list below, must also be taken. It is anticipated that students' programs of study will culminate with participation in Ed. 435A/Ling. 291 (Research Seminar in Applied Linguistics [2-4 units]). Courses taken for the minor must be incremental units beyond those used to satisfy the major. At least 20 of the 30 units must be at the 200 level or above.

 

2. Concentrations: Two overlapping applied linguistics concentrations are

available: a) The Learning, Teaching, and Translation of Second Languages, and b) Educational and Policy applications of Linguistics. Dimensions of both concentrations can be combined in consultation with an academic advisor and approval of the applied linguistics steering committee.

 

3. Research Project (Optional): candidates may elect to present a paper or

original research project which integrates the subject matter of their

applied linguistics concentration into the candidate's field of specialization. This project will be developed in association with the candidate's Ph.D. minor advisor and integrated into the research seminar in applied linguistics.

 

4. Supervision: Each student chooses an applied linguistics advisor; that person serves on the candidate's University oral examination committee and may request that up to one-third of the examination be devoted to the minor subject.

 

Concentrations:

 

A) The Learning, Teaching, and Translations of Second Languages

 

This program approaches the teaching of second languages from a learning perspective. In other words, it eschews the traditional sense of "teaching methods" and focuses on instructional decision-making within the context of learners' intellectual and linguistic development. This focus within the Ph.D. minor in Applied Linguistics is designed to prepare language instructors to teach languages in a variety of post secondary settings to an array of populations. By contrast, those seeking to concentrate on translation will advance traditional methods of interpretation with new

theories and applications that are relevant to various professional domains. Translators and interpreters who develop superior fluency in two or more languages may wish to devote primary attention to these skills, which would encompass face-to-face (interactive) translation as well as the translation of documents from one language to another, thereby preparing

students for careers that require substantial translation between two or

more languages. This overall program concentration requires general reading in second language acquisition (SLA) and/or translation while offering students course work in the following areas:

1. Second Language Acquisition in Instructed Contexts

2. Elements of Curricular Design for University and College

Settings

3. The Acquisition of Second Language Literacy

4. The Use of Technology to Enhance Student Performance.

5. Linguistics and the teaching of foreign languages

6. Theoretical foundations in the translation of various languages

Students within this concentration must develop a program of study in consultation with an academic advisor and submit the proposed program of study for approval by the applied linguistics steering

committee. Students are strongly encouraged to select course from several of the above areas in order to complete the minor.

Governance and Administration:

 

The Ph.D. minor in Applied Linguistics will be administered through the Stanford University Language Center in association with a steering committee. The director of the Language Center, a faculty representative from the Department of Linguistics, and a faculty representative from the School of Education will compose the Applied Linguistics steering committee. Members will be appointed for terms of service by the appropriate H&S Dean in consultation with Deans from the School of Education.

The steering committee will report to the cognizant Dean as well as review and approve programs of study. In turn they will convey this information to candidates and their faculty advisors. The Applied Linguistics faculty affiliates will be drawn from Stanford University faculty, consulting faculty, and senior lecturers who offer courses and are actively engaged in Applied Linguistic research. These faculty affiliates will serve as supervisors to doctoral students who seek the Ph.D. minor in Applied Linguistics.

 

Additional faculty who desire future affiliation with Applied Linguistics are encouraged to contact the director of the Stanford Language Center and identify their courses that could be of interest to doctoral students pursuing the Ph.D. minor, and/or the nature of their Applied Linguistic research that would justify service as an advisor to doctoral students pursing the Ph.D. minor in Applied Linguistics.

Comparable Programs:

The Ph.D. minor at Stanford is likely to compare favorably with programs and departments of Applied Linguistics elsewhere in the US and abroad. Several of Stanford's faculty affiliates (listed below) are active leaders in the American Association for Applied Linguistics, the Linguistic Society of America, as well as former trustees of the Center for Applied Linguistics in Washington, DC. The constellation of faculty affiliates associated with the anticipated minor provide stronger program offerings in their respective concentrations than can be found in comparable graduate programs that are devoted exclusively to Applied Linguistics.

 

Anticipated expenses:

Since this program draws substantially upon existing courses offered by various faculty, anticipated costs associated with implementation of an Applied Linguistics minor will be minimal. Also, due to the willingness of the Language Center Director to house this program, administrative structures are already established to ensure necessary regulatory compliance.
