Phd students in LLED are able to sub-specialize in Literacy Education, or Modern Language Education, however, when their degrees are conferred, their degrees would only indicate a Phd in LLED.
We offer specialized, individualized and interdisciplinary graduate programs in French immersion, French as a Second or Foreign Language [FSL, FFL], Asia-Pacific and the other modern language education. These programs involve study in second language curriculum, assessment, second language acquisition, bilingualism and intercultural education.
Although there are formal course requirements for the advanced degrees, students in the graduate programs are encouraged, with the aim of individualizing each program of studies, to take graduate courses in the Departments of Anthropology/Sociology, Psychology, and Linguistics in the Faculty of Arts, as well as in the Departments of Educational Studies, Curriculum and Instruction, Administrative Education, and Educational Psychology in the Faculty of Education. In this way, each program is individually tailored to suit students’ talents and interests.
