Language for Education: In this module, you will learn about selected language concepts, theories and elements which are relevant to language teaching and learning, but which do not always figure in traditional language courses. The idea that language and discourse structures can be (a) motivated, meaningful or purposeful and (b) flexible or fuzzy, rather than fixed or ‘black and white’ will be introduced and you will discover ways in which language structure is used, with other concepts, to create meaningful discourse and interactions.

Teaching and Learning Language: In the Spring Term, building on your knowledge from the Language for Education module, you will expand your understanding of different language learning theories and their (potential) implications for language teaching. You will get an overview of how approaches to second and foreign language teaching have evolved over the last few decades and learn how to develop informed opinions about the challenges and tensions involved in language teaching practice, both generally and in your own context.

Language Curriculum Design and Evaluation: This module will help you develop knowledge and understanding of what a language curriculum is and how to design and evaluate it. You will look closely at the components parts that make up a language curriculum and the relationship between them, and will learn a step-by-step process for designing a language course.

Research Methods in Language Learning and Teaching: This module will give you an understanding of methods used to research language learning and teaching. You will explore the relationships between research questions, methods, data analysis and subsequent claims.

Planning and Communicating Research: Building on the knowledge and understanding of research methods gained in the previous module, you will engage in planning of a small research project, identifying and managing the different stages involved, from conception to analysis to writing up and disseminating your results. This module will provide you with the knowledge, understanding and skills necessary for conducting a research study and will allow you to reflect on these to enrich your own experience.
