Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics
The University of New England's Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics (MAAL) is a fully-online, professional postgraduate degree. It is the first in Australia and one of the first in the world.
Explore languages, language acquisition and intercultural communication from the comfort of your own home while interacting with fellow students from around the world as part of UNE's innovative online MA (Applied Linguistics). There is no residency requirement. We have students from Japan, South Korea, China, the Philippines, Canada, Switzerland, the USA and Australia. The MA (Applied Linguistics) is a sought-after degree for professionals in fields as diverse as education, language teaching, language planning, TESOL, government, health and the law.
Utilise the vast resources of the Web (online journals, Applied Linguistics websites, international databases), multimedia support (journal papers, audio and video files) as well as textbooks. Discussion forums (Bulletin boards) and chat rooms are used extensively to foster regular discussions between classmates, as well as between students and lecturers. Self-evaluation activities and quizzes provide instant feedback on topics of interest.
UNE's online MA (Applied Linguistics) appeals to those who do not have a background in Linguistics, but who wish to obtain a professionally relevant higher qualification, as well as to those considering postgraduate careers in the growing fields of Applied Linguistics and TESOL. This degree may also be of interest to those working with linguistic or cultural minorities. Our first intake was July 2001, with new intakes every semester afterwards (beginning February and July of each year).
