Hello! I'm Ita Haroon, and am currently doing a study on apposition. I

come across some, but I need more stuff for what I am working now.Any
information would be greatly appreciated. Please contact me at:

Message 3: seeking online graduate course in linguistics

Subject: seeking online graduate course in linguistics

Dear Professor of Linguistics/SLA/TESOL,
	
I am looking for an online course that would satisfy my graduate-level
degree requirements for one elective course in any of the following
areas:
	
applied linguistics, socio-linguistics, psycho-linguistics, second
language acquisition or language methodology (specifically via online
environments/distance ed, if possible).
	
As I work online and have been managing various educational virtual
communities for four years, I would love to study the socio-linguistic
or psycho-linguistic factors affecting and affected by online
discourse. Alternately, I would like to study how language is
acquired in text-based and multimedia synchronous communication
environments. I would certainly entertain any other ideas you might
have.
	
I have been searching for existing online courses, but have found
nothing so far. Given this situation, I am hoping that you might
enjoy setting up an independent study course (or two) for me. I feel
that, given my extensive experience in using a variety of Internet
applications for language learning (specifically Spanish and ESL/EFL),
this could perhaps be as fruitful for you as it would be for me. Feel
free to take a look at my home page (URL below).
	
Finally, I'm in touch with five other learners who may be interested
in taking the same online course. Please reply to me personally as I
am not a member of this list.
	
Many thanks!
