Programme Description
This programme is designed for both graduates with teaching experience and practising language teachers and trainers who wish to build a career in modern languages and English as a foreign language. It enables students to make an effective contribution to language learning in their organisation through research, development and the application of newly acquired knowledge, and enhance career prospects in further and higher education. This is an interdisciplinary postgraduate programme which will help you to develop your transferable skills, valued in a wide range of careers.
Students are introduced to research in applied languages, in particular those research activities and themes that affect the language-learning environment, including second language acquisition and communicative language teaching. Students also explore research in language learning in relation to the practical learning environment. They acquire the skills to write and use computer-aided language learning tools and conduct a research project in language learning and language teaching.
