There are many opportunities for service at home with im migrants, refugees, and foreign studen t s, as well as abroad, especially in developing countries. In addition to language teaching, there are many areas of impor tance which address language-related human problems in the U.S. and abroad, such as language learning, literacy, social aspects of language use, and translation.These and other topics are focused on by applied linguistics. To help meet these varied needs, the department ofTESOL and Applied Linguistics offers two minors, one in TESOL, the other in applied linguistics to recognize the particular significance of the specialized t raining obtained. Upon satisfactory completion of the TESOL minor an undergradua te certificate in TESOL is given . A TESOL certificate may also be earned by completing all the courses listed under the minor as part of a concentration within an academic ma jor. The minors, while especially applicable to students majoring in education, English, or intercultural studies, are open to all interested underg raduates.

The core of the minor (12 units) consists of INAL 300,301,403, and 405. Electives (6 units) may be selected from INAL 437,446,452, 453 and INTE 410,421. INAL 300 is prerequisite to all other courses in the minor. Summer Institute of Linguistics at Biola The Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) at Biola, together with the Department ofTESOL & Applied Linguistics, provide a number of linguistics courses which can comprise a concent rat ion or a minor for students of various majors who are interested in this field . Experienced instructors who have served with Wycliffe Bible Transla tors cooperate in teaching a range of courses including language analysis, language learning, and Bible translation.
