General Information
The School of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies offers a number of programs:
• B.A. (Honours) Programs
• B.A. Programs
• Certificate in the Teaching of English as a Second Language (CTESL)
• Mention: français
• Master of Arts in Applied Language Studies (see Graduate Calendar)
The School also includes a number of other units:
• English as a Second Language for Credit
• AIMESL: Asian, Indigenous, Middle Eastern, and Sign Language Unit
· Modern European Languages
• Language Testing Unit
• Language Resource Unit
• Writing Tutorial Service
B.A. (Honours) Programs
The Honours degree in Linguistics and Applied Language Studies allows students to develop their interest in General Linguistics or in Applied Language Studies.
B.A. Programs
The B.A. program in Linguistics and Applied Language Studies allows students to acquire a general background in General Linguistics or in Applied Language Studies.
Both the B.A. (Honours) and B.A. programs offer a "Mention: français." In addition to Linguistics and Applied Language Studies 29.100 or First-Year Seminar 01.126, there is a group of courses dealing with general linguistics, concentrating on the descriptive and/or historical analysis of language; another group of courses deals with language and its connections to other human studies.
Certificate in the Teaching of English as a Second Language (CTESL)
The Certificate in the Teaching of English as a Second Language is a 5.0 credit program for those students who already have a degree or who have extensive experience in teaching, or are registered in an Honours undergraduate degree program at Carleton. The program includes both required courses and a range of complementary half-credit courses.
If a student is subsequently admitted to the M.A. in Applied Language Studies, 2.0 appropriate and relevant credits from the CTESL (one at the 400-level and one at the 500-level) MAY be counted towards the graduate degree, subject to the approval of the Graduate Studies Supervisor and the Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research. (Such double-counting is only possible for students who already hold a B.A.Honours or a B.A. along with a B.Ed.).
English as a Second Language for Credit
English as a Second Language for Credit offers a number of credit courses for students whose native language is not English.
AIMESL: Asian, Indigenous, Middle Eastern, and Sign Language Unit
The AIMESL Unit offers courses in a number of languages including: Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Thai, Korean, Arabic, Indonesian/Malaysian, Hebrew, Vietnamese, Indigenous languages and American Sign Language. It also offers a course in Communication Skills for Engineering Students as well as other specialized language-related courses.
Modern European Languages: German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish
Courses are offered in German, Italian, Russian and Spanish at levels ranging from introductory to advanced. It is possible to register for a 4.0 credit Minor in any of these languages (see p. 313)
Graduation Regulations

English as a Second Language Units
General Information
The Credit and Non-Credit English as a Second Language (ESL) Units offer a number of types of courses for students for whom English is not the native language, including credit courses, and non-credit courses. The non-credit courses are offered on a full-time basis (as the Intensive Courses) or on a part-time basis (individual courses related to specific language needs). In addition, the ESL Units develop and carry out specialized courses for client groups based on their academic or professional needs including the non-credit Diploma in English as a Foreign Language: English Language and Methods for International Teachers, and the non-credit Diploma in English for Business Communication.
The ESL Units also engage in research activities related to analysis of students' language needs, development of methodologies and materials for teaching, and development of methodologies and materials for self-directed learning, and assessment of language activities through testing.
Credit Course Information
The courses are designed to meet the needs of students who are qualified for admission to any faculty but whose native language is not English, and whose scores on the Canadian Academic English Language (CAEL) Assessment or other tests recognized by the University indicate they would encounter serious difficulties in a full academic program. No student who has native or native-like command of English is permitted to take any of these courses.
The aim of these courses is to train students for university work. E.S.L. 21.130 is specifically for Canadian residents and citizens who have had little or no previous experience with academic English. The focus for the Intermediate English (E.S.L. 21.150) and Advanced English (E.S.L. 21.190) is on listening to lectures and extended discourse, note-taking, writing essays and papers and participating in group seminar work. E.S.L. 21.195 is a similar course but is concerned specifically to address the needs of students in the Faculty of Engineering. The focus in Advanced Writing (E.S.L. 21.196*) is specifically related to developing skill in preparing, writing, revising and editing papers and reports for academic and professional purposes.
Placement in these courses is determined by the Canadian Academic English Language (CAEL) Assessment. No challenges for credit can be made for credit in E.S.L. The number of E.S.L. credits that may count toward a degree varies by faculty: a maximum of 1.0 credit (at the advanced level only) may count toward a student's degree in Engineering; a maximum of 2.0 credits may count toward a degree in the Faculties of Public Affairs and Management and Arts and Social Sciences; a maximum of 3.0 credits may count toward a degree in the Faculty of Science and the School of Computer Science.

The program consists of individualized tutorials, supplementary workshops on style, minicourses on the principles of academic writing in general, and seminars on the finer points of discipline-specific writing (such as the writing of law essays and examinations). In addition, the service is regularly called on to deal with special writing problems arising in specific courses or disciplines by designing individual ancillary programs in response to, and in consultation with, the instructors in those disciplines. The service also sponsors and conducts research on the acquisition, development, and improvement of writing abilities in the university context.
