About the Department: The Department of French has faculty representing a broad spectrum of fields, including theoretical and applied linguistics, second language acquisition and teacher education (SLATE), literature, cinema studies, civilization, cultural studies, gender and women's studies, and post-colonial theory. In French linguistics and SLATE, there is currently a cohort of 13 graduate students and 4 full-time faculty members: Zsuzsanna Fagyal, Peter Golato, Cristina Toharia, and Annie Tremblay. In addition to its degree programs, students in the Department can obtain a graduate concentration in Romance Linguistics and certificates in SLATE and in Translation Studies. Students in French linguistics and SLATE receive extensive training that enables them to do strong empirical research on the form, use, and acquisition, and teaching of the French language. Areas of specialization include bilingualism and language contact, dialectology, phonetics/phonology, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, second language acquisition, second language pedagogy, second language pragmatics, and second language speech and sentence processing. The French linguistics and SLATE programs are interdisciplinary and have strong ties with the Departments of Educational Psychology, Germanic Languages and Literatures, Linguistics, Psychology, and Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, as well as with researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science. Students in French linguistics and SLATE have access to research facilities such as the Illinois Phonetics and Phonology Lab, the Second Language Acquisition and Bilingualism Lab, and other state-of-the-art research labs at the Beckman Institute. The University's world-renowned Library, ranked among the top public libraries in the US, offers online subscriptions to a large number of academic journals. The Department also offers non-native speakers of French the opportunity to participate in year-long exchange programs with Dijon, Liège, Lyon, Metz, Poitiers, and Quebec. In the past 5 years, the Department has placed 100% of its graduating PhD students in top research institutions (e.g., Indiana University, University of Texas, University of Wisconsin). Eighty-five percent of these placements were in tenure-track positions.
