The Certificate in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching is offered to University of Florida graduate degree-seeking students in linguistics and related disciplines.

As part of its service to the University community, Linguistics also offers English as a Second Language training for international applicants and admitted students. These programs, the English Language Institute (ELI), Academic Written English (AWE), and Academic Spoken English (ASE), are described in the Student Services section of this catalog. This information, along with links to the application form, are available at http://lin.ufl.edu.

These deficiencies can be met by taking LIN 3010 Introduction to Linguistics (3 cr.), LIN 3201 The Sounds of Human Language (3 cr.), and LIN 3460 The Structure of Human Language (3 cr.) or the equivalent.
