  1. Dear all: I am looking for a reputable school that offers 100% online courses for PhDs in Elementary Ed (which is what I do now) or second language acquisition or bilingualism and multiculturalism. I'm steering far away from private schools because I fear that it will burn too big of a hole in my pocket. I need something that is not too suspicious like the fly-by-night schools you see on the net, which will remain unmentioned. Who can help me out? Arizona State has what I need, but not online. Just an example to get things going Best, TESOLin4LANGUAGES
  2. Aside from opinions, which I love, do any of you have a RIGOROUS and TOP programs that would marry the two, as you say ? I know University of Arizona is out because I cannot stand UofA due to its weather. Sorry! I know of: Georgetown,Upenn (good programs) and as well as others that are not as prestigious. Sorry for being unclear, but I want a PRESTIGIOUS degree and ready to work for it> Thanks D
  3. Yes. For example, UPenn also has educational linguistics. Still, I'm very interested in HGSE because they have you specialize in one of three specialties (don't quote me on that). One of those specialties is "How do we learn" and I'm very interested in that. Any other opinions? I value all of the previous ones
  4. BTW I'm also looking for the "best programs." While I know ivy-league schools aren't necessarily better due to other departments having better rankings, I'd love to have some recommendations Thanks
  5. Thanks Agrippina That is great advice and I'll surely visit them. But do you have any knowledge on whether SLA is "inferior" to Teaching and Curriculum?
  6. I want to start prepping for PhD applications. I have graduated twice with honors. BA Intercultural Communication (3.7overall) Florida Atlantic University and MS Teaching and Curriculum ESOL focus University of Rochester (3.9 overall). The latter is a beautiful school! I speak four languages fluently. I have not taken the GRE yet. I don't know what or how I should decide on PhD specializations: Second Language Acquisition (SLA) or Teaching and Curriculum. One side says that T&C is more broad and allows for more career opportunities; however, if not researching what I'm interested in (SLA) I might become upset. What do you recommend? I want to apply to all ivy leagues and hope to get in. Columbia is the only one that doesn't require the GRE for its EdD. Importantly, I want to research and teach at the same time. I have been teaching adults for a while, was an EAP adjunct professor at a top rated college in Orlando, FL, have my own ESL online teaching company etc. I have around 4-5 years of solid teaching experience. I also have experience translating for kids, as an ELL language facilitator, where I translate in between four languages. SLA is what I want the most. But, I'm in need of advice. I don't know much of anything, so your advice will be taken seriously and heavily considered. Thanks TESOL IN 4 LANGUAGES
  7. Hello every1 I'm not making enough money to support my family. Being a teacher, which is what I am now, is not cutting it. Could someone help me out? I have a BA in Intercultural Communication (Cum Laude) and an MS in Teaching and Curriculum (Summa Cum Laude). I speak four languages fluently. What could I do with this? Please help me out I'd appreciate it. Daniel
  8. Okay I'll start researching. u penn has a program called educational linguistics. That seems interesting. any experienced linguist can suggest the best or one of the best programs in applied linguistics and mention why it is good? thanks
  9. By the way I intend to take the Gre unless a magical school shoes up with what I'd need. im looking for ivy or new ivy schools. thanks
  10. Amazing reply. Thanks! I think, since I don't have Gre scores yet I'm doomed until next fall. any schools with deadlines in January without Gre requirements? Sorry for typos , it's the I phone's fault lol
  11. If it helps: I have a BA in Intercultural Communication (3.7GPA) I have an MS in Teaching and Curriculum, ESOL focus (3.9 GPA) I speak four languages fluently, and have beginning fluency in 2.
  12. Hello every1 I'm looking into applying for universities for next year 2016-2017 while I finish my GREs. However, I noticed some universities, namely MIT, does not even require GREs. Are there any notable universities that don't require GRE's? And, hey, I know I'm late when it comes to applying...I have time. But do you know of any with late application deadlines? What about those that also give you funding (unlike MIT)? I'm sure I'll end up taking the GRE because I'm asking for too much But just maybe someone knows something more. I want my major to be in SLA/Applied Linguistics. Thanks in advance TESOL IN 4 LANGUAGES
  13. Ze Choc Moose: Thanks for the reality check. I'll take your advice. Thanks, it really helped.
