  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.
  14. Thanks Kate. So far I have University of Rochester, Columbia, Arizona State, and a small private university in S. Florida. Any others?
  15. Thanks bakalamba. That helps. I do like research, and I like being a professor. I will happily work towards that goal. You are right and might look into taking the exam. For now, however, I'd love to know, during my initial phases of my school research, whether there are some good schools (Teacher's College, University of Rochester) that don't require it. I have seen a few here http://ainsleydiduca.com/phd-programs-no-gre-required/ Does anyone have another list? Thanks!! And if any1 has other tips, I'd be more than happy to read them. Best of luck!!!!!
  16. Oh, and if anyone has a list of schools that don't require the GRE that would be great. Thanks for replying and thanks for your time
  17. Thanks. I want to end up managing departments, being the leader and making the right decisions. Does anyone have any more input? All input is appreciated. Thanks so much
  18. A dream job: Professor and Manager of a department in ESL. I would consider many others in higher ed, but this is just an example. Others include: government or even professor of higher education.
  19. Hello every1 Nice to be on here. A little about me: I am considering an EdD or a PhD in Higher Ed. I need to know if this would be a good decision for me. I'm very interested in it, but would like different opinions from different people. I know that every university is different. This is me Florida Atlantic University - Intercultural and Organizational Communication, 3.7GPA University of Rochester - Teaching and Curriculum, ESL specialization 3.9GPA Omicron Delta Kappa Honor society I have 2 semesters of higher education teaching experience in English as a Second Language, with good reviews from students. I have 2 years working at language school(s) experience. 1 year of managing my own (this time online) business in ESL (online, private, personalized tutoring). I have been a private ESL tutor since 2005. I want to get a higher ed degree and tutor on the side for fun. 1) I feel a bit like I am "all over the place." Some people tell me otherwise. What are your opinions? 2) I am applying to University of Rochester, Columbia, and perhaps others that DON'T require the GRE. Does anyone have a list of other schools that don't require the GRE? 3) What would be the job prospects for someone like me post graduation? Many universities say professor, government, deans etc. But with my background, what would you say? 4) Any thing else that you wish to add, please, I'd love to know. All the best and thanks for your time. Daniel
  20. Now that I'm here and ppl are replying: I am also interested in Higher Education EdD. Why? Because I'm interested in politics, change, policy and social justice. My master's thesis was on this (Teaching and Curriculum issues and solutions). My background 4 languages Intercultural and Organizational Communication BA Teaching and Curriculum, MS (Specialty TESOL) ______(insert possibilities here)___________ I am not sure if I can get into a Higher Ed program being so young and having no administrative experience. What do you think?
  21. OK see that's my problem. Many universities offer EdDs (For example TC at Columbia) for TESOL or Applied Linguistics. Seems too narrow for me. I have previous professors who have master's in TESOL and chose PhD's in education. Any tips on becoming more marketable? My main focus is adults, so bilingual education is out (in TC). Thanks
  22. Perhaps I am wrong. TESOL EdD allows for many things that a multicultural degree would Still, it seems to be limited in what I can do (focuses on English only) Thanks! D
  23. Does anybody know of bilingual or multicultural PhDs with no GRE? I have: TC Columbia University. Anybody? WHY I POSTED THIS: I want to get a PhD in something related to teaching languages. I have an MS in TESOL, but a PhD, in my mind, in TESOL would be too narrow and would limit my options down the road. Thanks! Daniel
