YES, if the specialisation is available on your Home campus. Please ensure your course structure allows space for enrolment in the units in this unit set. Students must also meet any pre-requisite requirements. Consult your Course Advisor for further advice.
Through study of what language is and how it works, students gain conceptual tools and knowledge relevant to the relationship of language and society as well linguistics-related disciplines, such as Sociolinguistics, Psycholinguistics, Developmental Linguistics, Bilingualism, and other applied linguistics areas. Understanding of the relationship between language learning, communicative competence and cultural practices, both in the Australian context and in a global context, provides a foundation for many careers including primary and secondary teaching, policy analysis, communication, social and welfare services in culturally diverse communities.
