English Language and Linguistics

The English Language and Linguistics (ELL) major provides two orientations: a TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of other Languages) orientation which can lead to a professional qualification in TESOL if further study is undertaken in the Faculty of Education, and an English for Professional Purposes orientation.

Major Study

A major in English Language and Linguistics for Non-English Speaking Background (NESB) students consists of 58 credit points, and must include 18 cp at 100-level, 16 cp at 200-level and 24 cp at 300-level, as set out below. A major in English Language and Linguistics for English Speaking Background (ESB) students consists of 52 credit points, and must include 12 cp at 100-level, 16 cp at 200-level and 24 cp at 300-level, as set out below. Students who are uncertain whether they should be in the NESB or the ESB stream must consult the ELS co-ordinator.

Note: LING210 is counted towards majors in French, Italian, Japanese and English Language and Linguistics.
