When students work on their thesis projects before graduation, they work with professors who are specialists in different areas of TESOL,
composition, Sociolinguistics, and general linguistics.
Sociolinguistics often makes use of traditional quantitative analysis
and statistics in investigating the frequency of features, while some disciplines, like contact linguistics, focus on qualitative analysis.
In linguistics, we emphasize such fields as phonetics, Sociolinguistics, semantics, pragmatics, and discourse analysis, and
also how the English language has developed into a global language of communication.
