SLP 101

I am an undergrad student, majoring in Linguistics and minoring in Psychology. My goal is to take post-bachelor courses in Speech Language Pathology, then move on to acquiring a Master's in the field. My motivations for beginning this blog are as follows:
-To teach myself more about the field of Speech Language Pathology, and language in general.
-To learn from professionals and others with the same interests.
-To, eventually, share my knowledge with others.
Thank you for following me on this journey.

Hi, uhm I have some questions about your major. So with Linguistics, what kind of classes do you take? I'm fluent in English, ASL, and French and am looking into different options. Also what careers could you do with that major? Thank you <3 LOVE your blog (:

Linguistics consists of learning the phonology, syntax, semantics, etc. of a language. Elective classes may consist of the history of a language, or the philosophy of language. For more information, I would look into the program guide of a university you’re considering. If you’re truly fluent in those languages, the first thing that comes to mind is that you could become an awesome translator. You could also go into A.I. work if you’re into computers, or become a researcher or professor if you appreciate academia. At the Bachelor’s level, a Linguistics degree isn’t quite useful… you could, however, teach English overseas with it if you have additional TEFL certification or teaching experience from overseas volunteer opportunities. I’m using my degree, with a minor in Psychology, to provide the groundwork for a Master’s in Speech Language Pathology. If you’re considering a major in Linguistics, please keep in mind that it’s not likely that you’d be able to stop at just a Bachelor’s degree… you will probably have to go beyond that to do what you want to do. I hope this helps somewhat; I’m no expert and I sincerely advise you to seek academic advising or career counseling if you want to learn more.

And thank you, I’m so glad to hear that you love my blog! :)
