About us
History of the Department of Hungarian and Applied Linguistics
The Department of Hungarian and Applied Linguistics at the University of Szeged – originally the Department of Applied Linguistics at the Gyula Juhász Teacher Training College – was founded by Zsolt Lengyel, University Professor, in 1990. The creation of the Department was justified by the need to provide general and applied linguistic studies for a large number of students of English, French, German, Italian and Russian majors. After Professor Zsolt Lengyel, Róbert Zánthó, Associate Professor, became the Head of the Department, then Sergei Tóth, College Professor; the current Head of Department is Juhász Valéria, College Associate Professor.
From 2009 to 2019, Valéria Juhász organized the National Nice Pronunciation Competition for the Faculty round and successfully prepared many students for the Kazinczy Competition as well.
Linguistic disciplines and interdisciplinary education at the Department are provided for the students majoring in linguistics and language and speech development teacher training, broadening their knowledge by developing a linguistic mindset and context.
The current, accredited programs are Master of Applied Linguistics (Humanities) (4 semesters), Language and Speech Development Teacher training (4 semesters), Business Administration specialization (4 semesters). Furthermore, the Department provides the opportunity for non-linguistic students to take a course in native language skills development. Currently the Mother Tongue Education, Reading, Reading and Learning Preparation and Development Research Group is attached to the Department, whose members are Valéria Juhász, Veronika Kálló and Márta Radics.
In addition to teaching and research work, the Department has invited renowned professionals, recognized foreign and Hungarian linguists and guest speakers from time to time (e.g. Sándor Albert, Géza Balázs, János Bauko, V. D. Geraszimova, László Kálmán, János Péntek, János Petőfi S., Vilmos Voigt, etc.), whose lectures have not only broadened our horizons, but have also popularized applied linguistic researches.
Our students are traditionally active participants in the life of the Department: they regularly give thesis presentations, conference presentations, and thus several volumes have been published already, which contain only professional records written by students.
The department also continuously organizes and publishes its own linguistic publications conferences and lays emphasis on mentoring students.
The current staff of the Department are dr. Valéria Juhász, Head of Department, Associate Professor, dr. Éva Basch, Associate Professor, dr. Éva Szabó, Senior Lecturer, Monika Krupa.
