You will also learn to conduct your own research, compile and analyse qualitative and quantitative data and develop your critical-evaluative skills. These skills will be used on your own research project at the end of the course, as well as in your future career. Core modules: Second Language Acquisition You will focus on the major themes that have emerged from literature on second language learning over the last three decades. You will examine some of the research on the second-language acquisition process, look critically at reports of second-language research, and examine some of the theories which endeavour to interpret research evidence. You will be encouraged to use your own language learning and teaching experience to assess the relative merits of such materials. Discourse in Society You will examine the relationship between language and society and the construction of discourse in various domains. You will explore sociological and sociolinguistic models and theories, such as speech communities, communities of practice and ethnolinguistic vitality, with a particular focus on social variation and stratification across various linguistic levels (phonology, lexicon, syntax). You will explore discourse's notion (or notions) in both its linguistic and wider meaning and its construction in and through society and language use. You will study methods for collecting and transcribing data and discover various linguistic and discourse analysis approaches. These methods and approaches will then be put into context and used in the analysis of the relevant social spheres and domains, such as educational or institutional discourse. Research Methods in Applied Linguistics This module will provide you with an introduction to research methods in preparation for the MA dissertation. It will familiarise you with the basic processes of conducting research, including general methodological approaches as well as research ethics. You will analyse and discuss both qualitative and quantitative data in order to develop your critical-evaluative skills. Materials and Course Design You will explore the factors involved in the design of language courses and teaching materials, reflecting on one possible course design process. You will start with an analysis of the context in which the course will take place, the needs of the learners, and current theories of language and language learning. You will move on to consider how course content can be selected and ordered in a principled way, how assessment relates to course design, and how and when courses should be evaluated. Finally, you will consider the evaluation, adaptation, and creation of course materials. Classroom Theory and Practice You will examine current research on modern classroom operations, exploring key concepts and issues through relevant professional and academic literature. A more practical element will be realised through filmed observation of teachers in practice. You will also be encouraged to reflect on your teaching and learning experience and analyse and discuss your beliefs and attitudes towards learning and teaching. Major Project This module will support you in the preparation and submission of a master’s dissertation, allowing you to explore in-depth a particular topic that reflects your academic interest. Assessment You will show your understanding of theoretical issues and their practical application through a combination of portfolios, classroom observation tasks and critical essays. After completing your final module, you will also research and prepare a 15,000-word dissertation.
