Linguistics offers graduate programs leading to the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees with specializations in (a) the core areas of the discipline (theoretical and descriptive phonetics, phonology, syntax, linguistic change) and (b) applied lin- guistics (sociolinguistics, first and second language acqui- sition, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics). Also offered to degree-seeking students in applied linguistics and related disciplines is a Certificate in Teaching English as a Second Language. Applicants who have deficiencies in linguistics must fulfill prerequisites prior to graduate work in the field. These deficiencies can be met by taking LIN 3010, 3200, and 3460 or the equivalent. For detailed information on the programs, including financial aid, please contact Linguis- tics by calling (904) 392-0639 or by mail addressed to Linguistics, 112 Anderson Hall, Universityof Florida,Gaines- ville, FL 32611. As part of its service to the University community, Linguistics also offers programs for international applicants and admitted students. These programs are The English Language Institute (ELI), the Scholarly Writing Program (SW), and the Academic Spoken English Program (ASE). Applicants whose command of English is not as good as expected may be required by their department to attend the ELI, an intensive English program designed to provide rapid gain in English proficiency. An ELI student may require one, two or, exceptionally, three semesters of full-time English studies before entering Graduate School. Information about the ELI is available in 315 Norman Hall. The Scholarly Writing Program is designed to help inter- national graduate students improve their writing ability. Applicants whose verbal GRE scores are below 320 or who have been admitted provisionally with a TOEFL score lower than 550 are given a writing test. Those demonstrating a lower proficiency than needed for successful performance in written tasks atthe graduate level are required to take ENS 4449. Another course, ENS 4450-Research Writing, is offered for those who wish to learn to write in their field of study. Information about the SW Program is available at the Coordinator's office, 310 Norman Hall. The ASE Program is designed to help those who expect to be Graduate Teaching Assistants at the University of Florida but who cannot demonstrate a high enough profi- ciency in English. The required course atthe lowest level is ENS 5501. Another course, ENS 5502, is offered to students whose proficiency is good enough to begin teaching but who still need help learning to use English in an American classroom. Teachers are videotaped and their class work discussed constructively by the ASE staff. The third course, ENS 5503, is a tutorial. Candidates for teaching appoint- ments tutor American students in their specialty. Video- tapes of these encounters are used by the ASE staff just as in 5502. For additional information about the ASE, please contact the ASE Office in 1349 Norman Hall or call 392- 3286.
