A.

What is the detailed description of the course-Including 

differentiation from lower level courses, from similar 

courses in the same department and from cow-es in other 

departments in the University? 

For some of the possible topics, please see the next 

paragraph.

Undergraduate courses Lin. 426 and 429 present 

an

introduction, necessarily brief, to VLhe many aspects of 

applied linguistics. For the greater depth required of graduate 

work, however, 

certain topics in this field deserve a whole

seminar --such as in seminars 850 and 851-- or at least one 

third of a course; 

855

is designed for topics of the latter type. 

B.

What is the range of topics that my be dealt with in

H.

Other reasons for introducing the course. 

This course, as well as 

Seminars 850 and 851

could attract 

to S.F.U. students :hoe pr.:ry intect is the applicat:;n

of linguistic thcries to second lnuage teaching. In the

last year

or two 

several 

such 

students have

inquired about the 

possibility

of fo11o:ing a grccluate

proom with some 

•

on

applied linguistics, but they could not be encouraged to 

join the D.lL
