This experience also demonstrates to employers skills in cross-cultural communication and an ability to adapt to new cultural environments.
Careers for Arts graduates in this sector include:
- communication and trade consultants
- translation
- teaching
- media correspondents
- multinational corporations
- international research services
- tourism marketing and services
Lusia NuraniIndonesiaCurrent postgraduate student in Master of Applied Linguistics (Coursework) I am a language teacher and initially completed a Graduate Diploma in Linguistics and Applied Linguistics before entering the Masters program. The Graduate Diploma provided a grounding that has assisted my learning at the masters level. I am especially interested in investigating crosscultural communication between speakers from different speech communities. My lecturers are all experts in their fields and have opened my eyes to the idea that language is not just a single entity, but correlates with the social, cultural and political aspects of a society. Upon my return to Indonesia, I will continue to work as a language teacher and researcher in applied linguistics. This course has equipped me with analytical and critical thinking which directly supports my future research work. |
