Welcome to the Department of Applied Linguistics and
ESL at Georgia State
University. Located in the center of Atlanta, a lively and diverse city
- the home of CNN, Coca Cola, and Martin Luther King, Jr. - GSU has over
27,000 students from every state in the United States and from over 145
countries. Departments of Applied Linguistics and ESL programs thrive
under these conditions. The department consists of a well-known MA program,
a new and dynamic PhD program, a growing undergraduate program, an Intensive
English Program (IEP), credit-bearing ESL courses at the undergraduate
and graduate level, and a large testing program that measures the academic
English proficiency of incoming non-native speaking students.
The department has attracted and retained outstanding faculty who are
committed to teaching and mentoring students so students have the skills
they need when they graduate. As illustrated on the faculty websites,
faculty also have active research agendas and serve as journal editors,
on editorial boards, and in responsible positions for national and international
professional organizations. ESL lecturers teach and also write textbooks,
work on grants, write professional volumes, and mentor graduate students.
I invite you to take a look at our website.
