This is a required course for all APLNG majors and only APLNG majors may take this course except with special permission from the instructor. As the culminating disciplinary experience for undergraduate APLNG majors, this course offers students a chance to engage with a personally relevant, semester-long project, involving either research or practice, in the field of Applied Linguistics. Students work with a project mentor and the course supervisor to develop one of the following options: a research project or a practice-oriented experience related to one of the teaching units in the Department of Applied Linguistics or in the community. All options require a final reflective research paper of twenty–twenty-five pages. Students must have completed the portal course for the major, APLNG 290N Critical Approaches to Applied Linguistics, prior to enrolling in this course. Prerequisite: APLNG 290N Concurrent: APLNG 450W
