Hi, all! I am currently a high school Spanish teacher interested in applying in the next few years to a graduate program in second language acquisition or applied linguistics. I really have an eye toward UC Berkeley’s PhD program in Romance linguistics but it doesn’t specialize in SLA or Applied linguistics, but I do like the prospect of working with multiple Romance languages. I also have researched and like the University of Iowa’s PhD program in SLA. I am torn...I suppose Cal is more we’ll known name wise and perhaps that’s what is drawing me to it? Does anyone have experience with either program that can give me insight?
