My Institute Experience
Picture of Meg  MacDonald 
For me, the most rewarding thing about studying at MIIS is the brilliance and dedication of the faculty. Students at this school have the opportunity to work closely with a number of language professionals who are at the top of their fields, and their presence makes the hours we spend in class really rewarding. Why just read a good textbook when you could be discussing it with the person who wrote it?

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.
