Course programme

Modular structure A range of assessment methods is used throughout the course and include academic papers, presentations, journals, language data collection and analysis, examinations and portfolios of practical tasks. There is also a variety of group and individual assessments which will develop independent, critical thinking and serve to reinforce our research culture. Each piece of work is graded individually whether done collaboratively or otherwise. You can expect to produce a critique of theory and current practices, and to evidence your ability to make informed decisions. Feedback plays an important role in the course and you will be expected to engage in self and peer feedback, especially in formative and presentation assessments. Research Ethics is an integral part of the course and together with training in research methods provides the foundations for the final dissertation: the culmination of the course which entails managing the research project from start to finish.
