The Linguistic Studies Program at Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY, USA, will have a number of Teaching Assistantships available beginning in Fall 2000 as support for those interested in pursuing an American Master's degree in Linguistic Studies with concentrations in any one of the following six areas: (1) Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, (2) Linguistic Analysis, (3) Language in Culture and Society, (4) Logic and Language, (5) Language Acquisition, (6) Information Representation and Retrieval. The available Teaching Assistantships involve teaching duties in the following areas: elementary/intermediate courses in French language, Spanish language, Chinese language, Japanese language, and intermediate/advanced courses in English as a Second Language. Recipients of these awards receive tuition and a stipend that will cover living expenses. To ensure consideration for these TAships, applications should reach the the Graduate Admissions Office at Syracuse University by Jan. 15, 2000. However, the competition will remain open until all awards are granted.
