I hope you find a specific subject you'd like to work on, though I don't doubt you will ^^ Have you? I visited S. Korea myself last summer and have been self-studying it too for a couple of years now, so I can completely understand your wish to deepen that, see for yourself what you've covered and what you've missed etc., I'm thinking of taking an advanced TOPIK test to see how I fare, maybe while in Korea. Do you know what level in Korean the MA is supposed to take you to? I'm not sure to be honest, I like it all so it will be hard to decide.. Maybe applied linguistics first then move on to a PhD later on.. I just don't think I'm ready yet. I'm really interested in Child Language Acquisition so first hand observation through experience teaching multilingual children could also be an asset on the long run, maybe? So long as I actually record and study the children's linguistic behaviour the way I have seen my undergrad teacher do? Then again I might just be fooling myself, but I do think I need some 'field experience'. So you'd be teaching English on an E2 for a while in Korea then you'd go back to study in the UK?

1a. Lottery Winner -> I should try working on it. I suppose. 1b. Noam Chomsky. But smarter. -> Not in a million years 2a. Speak at least 6 languages fluently. Seen Alias, anyone? 2b. Child Language Acquisition/Linguistics Professor in South Korea -> Yeah. Well. Working on it. 3. EFL Teacher in South Korea -> Already Qualified. 4. ESL Teaching in the UK -> Would need the right MA. 5. EFL Teacher in France -> Actually sort of qualified for that.

Thank you ashso! I'd definitely ask you about it once you're in if you don't mind! Actually, it's still fairly blurry from where I stand at the moment. I'd like to keep working on Child Language Acquisition thanks to this brilliant teacher I had here in Montpellier, but since until know I had thought of going into teaching for a while(I am taking a break for a year -working holidays- to improve my Korean, I considered staying as a regular English teacher afterwards), I'm not really sure of what I should do to get where. I do know that I am planning on moving to South Korea eventually though, so studying there sounded like a nice idea. Maybe eventually teach in university there? What about you, what are you planning on doing after your MA, why SOAS?

Hello, I realise that you posted this quite a while ago but I figured I might still try. I just graduated in English(Literature and Civilisation, but in France) and I'm interested in Theoretical Linguistics, in Multi-Lingual First Language Acquisition to be more precise, being French/English myself and as I have been studying Korean for about 6 years now, I'd like to study Tri-Lingual French-English-Korean Acquisition(or at least that's my idea for the moment) In my case, would you recommend doing an MA at SNU or at KU? Or should I just forget the idea of studying in South Korea and look up universities in the UK or in the US? Until now I've been mostly considering the SOAS in London. Of course anybody who might be able to answer is very welcome to do so =D
