In the Department of Linguistics, students are guided by the belief that the study of the language (English, German, French, Hispanic, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese) they are specializing in is inseparable from the study of general linguistic theory. At the same time, the department has been enhancing applied language research related to general language theory, such as language education and research on speech-language pathology. Another feature of our program is that we have created an environment that provides intellectual stimulation for developing research by inviting prominent scholars from various fields and accepting outstanding students from Japan and abroad. The fruit of these efforts is that, many of our graduates are active in a wide range of educational institutions. Curriculum In the Master&＃8217;s Program, students learn the foundational concepts and methods of linguistics based on their knowledge of their major language, write a master&＃8217;s thesis on a specific area, and acquire research and thesis-writing skills. The primary objective of the Doctoral Program is to prepare a doctoral dissertation in three years. Entrance examinations comprise submitting a research plan and an interview, and selection is based on the suitability and feasibility of the plan&＃8217;s content.

We nurture researchers with a wide range of backgrounds. Take Courses Outside of Your Area of Specialization In the Doctoral Program, students can take courses outside of their major field of study in order to deepen their knowledge of their major language and the system underlying their field of specialization, while at the same time developing observational and analytical skills that are not limited to a particular area of study. 3 courses Speech-Language and Hearing Research Course The Speech-Language and Hearing Research Course aims to train leaders and researchers with a broad perspective and rich sense of humanity through subjects ranging from basic theory to clinical practice (therapeutic education and rehabilitation) on communication disorders. By completing designated courses, students can obtain qualifications to sit for the national examination for Speech Language-Hearing-Therapists. TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) Course This course is designed for current English teachers and those who wish to be involved in English education in the future, with the goal of developing more advanced practical skills based on theoretical knowledge of English teaching. All required credits can be earned in English. TESOL Admission Japanese Language Education Course This course is designed for those who are interested in working in Japanese language education. Students will consider effective ways to teach Japanese language while conducting research on Japanese language acquisition. Students may also take subjects from other courses within the Graduate School.
