    Applied Linguistics concerns the study of the application of linguistics to all those socially important areas in which language plays a part. Within the broad field of Applied Linguistics the Faculty of Arts of the University of Groningen wishes to focus on naturalistic and instructed second/foreign language acquisition. Research will specifically focus on the relation between the naturalistic and instructed factors in the acquisition of modern foreign/second languages. Special attention will be given to the factors determining the course and the rate of acquisition processes. It is not only internal factors of a linguistic, psycholinguistic and biological nature that will be the object of research, but also and in particular external factors such as teaching procedures and socio-cultural factors. Bearing on this research will be recent developments such as neuro-imaging and CALL.

    The professor's research will be conducted within the framework of the Centre for Language and Cognition Groningen (CLCG). It is the faculty's aim to place the Professor of Applied Linguistics also in the functional charge of the team of language teaching methodologists in the Arts cluster of the University Centre for Teacher Education. Within this Centre this team of language pedagogues is responsible for the training of teachers of Dutch, German, English, French, Classical Languages, and Frisian.

    The position requires - teaching and co-ordinating teaching in the above field - co-ordinating and conducting research - supervising PhD research - executive and managerial work - the further specialisation and expansion of national and international networks.
