My Institute Experience
Picture of Carly  Blanchard 
The MATESOL program at Monterey Institute not only provides a solid foundation in theory and opportunities to put theory into practice, but also allows students to pursue their individual interests within this framework. Each instructor is unique and indispensable; the faculty exhibits a remarkable variety of teaching styles for such a small program. Above all, the diverse backgrounds of fellow students in the program make every class interesting and eye-opening.

What is Educational Linguistics?

Educational linguistics is the application of linguistics to the teaching of languages. Language acquisition contains mysteries. Why do some people “pick up” languages so easily? What is the difference between learning one’s native language and acquiring a second language later in life? Can the same methods be used to teach all languages? What is the proper mix of academic study and language practice?

Educational linguistics is the multidisciplinary study of language education. It includes theoretical and practical studies of language acquisition and language pedagogy. Language teachers with a strong background in linguistics are able to create lessons and curricula best suited to the needs of their students.
