Douglas Severo (2019 Graduate)
I received my Bachelor of Education in Linguistics from Unisinos university (Brazil) in 2015. Later, I took one year of a two-year Masters program in Applied Linguistics at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. I also received certificates including Academic Writing and TESOL. In Brazil, I worked as a teacher at various levels: primary, elementary, high school as well as in language centers teaching English as a foreign language and Portuguese - the official language in Brazil.
In 2017, I was admitted to the Masters program in Linguistics at 澳门六合彩开奖预测 university where besides being a graduate student, I also worked as Graduate Teaching Assistant. Right in my first year in the program, I was hired as a Linguist for Soundhound Inc. where I have helped develop both Brazilian and European phonological inventories, validate speech training data, and create phonetic and other linguistic input to train speech and language models. More recently, I was hired as a teacher at Thames Valley District School Board and as a Professor in the School of Language and Liberal Studies at Fanshawe College.
The Linguistics graduate program has provided me with both academic and professional opportunities.

Kristen Izaryk (2011 Graduate)
The MA program in Linguistics is a great program for students interested in linguistics and a variety of language-related fields, such as psychology, language disorders, and computer science. The interdisciplinary nature of the program was a perfect fit for me, being interested in both theoretical linguistics and language disorders, and it allowed me to tailor my Masters degree to focus on my exact research interests. And because the program is small, I felt supported in every way by the faculty, staff, and peers in the department. The faculty members are friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable and made each of my classes interesting and challenging, and because of this, I feel entirely prepared to begin my doctoral studies. On top of all that, the MA program is exceptionally well-funded. I definitely recommend this program for anyone looking for a personalized, challenging, and interdisciplinary graduate experience!
