This Master's track focuses on research into second or foreign language learning and teaching. You study the learning process and the use of new languages and the track allows you to focus your research on your language of choice: English as a second language, Dutch, French, German, Swedish, Chinese, etc. The skills and knowledge you acquire in this track are highly valued in areas of language teaching and testing, educational publishing, language policy making, and linguistic research.
You will approach second language acquisition from many angles, including linguistics, (social and cognitive) psychology, social interaction, and language teaching and assessment. The dynamic aspects of language development—how a wide range of factors (e.g. a learner's age, motivation, the amount of input) affect the learning process—receives particular attention. As such, our MA track trains you to become an all-round expert on second language development.
While this is not a teacher training programme, there is ample opportunity to discuss teaching-related issues and it is possible in some cases to do a language teaching internship.

Waarom aan de University of Groningen?
- Applied Linguistics is a truly international programme that welcomes students from all over the world.
- Classes are taught entirely in English.
- Students are encouraged to use their own language (learning and teaching) experiences as the basis for their individual linguistic enquiries and research.
- Our programme is small, which means that students benefit from small, intimate classes and close collaborative relationships with the other students as well as instructors.
- It is possible to switch to the Research Master programme 'Language and Cognition' after this programme.
- Following up this 1-year programme with the 1-year LVHO programme will award you with a teaching qualification and may be a great alternative to the regular 2-year educational master programme, giving you a firm research-based foundation for being a teacher.

ZaZa
Study association ZaZa is the study association for the study Dutch Language and Culture and Linguistics at the University of Groningen.As a study association for Dutch Language and Culture and Linguistics, naming the association after our beloved alphabet seemed a perfect fit. After all, what are language and literature without letters? Take the first and the last letter of our alphabet, double them, add a touch of creativity and there it is, our name ZaZa. The goal of ZaZa is to unite students with a passion for the Dutch language/literature and linguistics by organizing both events related and unrelated to our studies. That goal is pursued with the help of eleven active committees, two lustrum committees and two advisory committees.

Beroepsperspectief / arbeidsmarkt
Due to the varied options in the second semester, there is no one particular job our students tend to end up in. Some of our graduates end up in research positions, for example at a university or a research institute. Others become educational specialists, go back to teaching or continue with a teaching degree in their chosen language. Some also end up at teacher training institutes or work at language policy institutes (e.g. at provincial, national or international level). We also have quite a few graduates who have found positions in material development or language testing (e.g., Noordhoff Publishing Company, Diataal, or the Dutch CITO).
Despite the differences between our graduates and where they end up, it should be noted that many of the skills our students acquire are transferable. Our graduated students are specialized in teaching languages and language development, possess excellent analytical and writing skills (especially in English), and have obtained the capacity to analyze and solve problems. Therefore, our students are a great asset to a variety of companies and institutes and almost all of our students find a job within a few months after graduation.
