Second Language Acquisition Graduate Research
The Ph.D. program in Second Language Acquisition emphasizes training in cognitive aspects of second and foreign language learning, as well as research methodology.
The course load is kept to a minimum to encourage students to start engaging in research as soon as possible. The faculty have conducted research in a variety of second languages using a wide range of methodologies, from behavioral psycholinguistic experiments and classroom research to participant observation and survey research. A wide variety of research interests are welcome.
Below is a list of publications authored by our graduate students. For publications authored by the current SLA faculty, visit our SLA People page and select the profile of any faculty member.
