The Doctorate in Philosophy in Second Language Research is designed to prepare leaders in the field of second language (SLR) research. Program graduates will develop a strong approach to the investigation of the influential factors in second language acquisition and use. The program will provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to conduct high-quality quantitative and qualitative investigation, as well as action research in educational and non-educational scenarios. Dissemination of research results is a key component of the investigation process, and the program requires production of publication-quality research articles for many of the courses. The program is offered in English and exclusively through Distance Learning.
