Advisory Board

From day one, your academic advisor acts as a mentor, helping you navigate challenges, explore opportunities, and maximize your graduate experience.

To ensure a smooth transition into your graduate studies, every incoming student is paired with a dedicated academic advisor who will guide you through your first year. Your advisor will help you navigate coursework, research opportunities, and program requirements while offering personalized support as you settle into academic life. By the end of your first year, you’ll be ready to choose a thesis advisor whose expertise aligns with your research goals—empowering you to take the next step in your scholarly journey with confidence.

Academic Chairs

The EIL program is structured around three specialized tracks: English Linguistics (EL), English Language Instruction (ELI), and Language Assessment and Evaluation (LAE). Each track is led by a dedicated Academic Chair—an expert in their field who will guide you through your studies, help tailor your academic journey, and provide personalized advice if you wish to pursue more profound research or career opportunities in that area. Whether you’re refining your research focus, exploring elective courses, or planning your thesis, your Academic Chair is there to ensure you make the most of your track’s unique strengths.
