Program Description:
|
The program prepares students with a theoretical, practical, and spiritual foundation for solving language-related human problems in the U.S. and around the world such as bilingual and multilingual education, language planning, lexicography, literacy, second language acquisition, translation, and the development of writing systems. The Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) associated with the department enriches the applied linguistics program. Students are able to learn from instructors with Wycliffe experience and to take courses necessary for membership in Wycliffe and other similar organizations. Students also benefit from being able to take courses from Biola's School of Intercultural Studies and Talbot School of Theology.
