MA in Applied Linguistics and English Language Teaching, University of Nottingham

This Applied Linguistics course offers a comprehensive approach to understanding language learning and research methodologies. During the autumn term, students will engage with core modules that focus on research methods in applied linguistics, including data collection, analysis, and presentation using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The course also dives into Second Language Acquisition (SLA), exploring how people learn a second language, considering factors like age, mother tongue influence, and language skills development. The programme aims to equip students with essential research skills and in-depth knowledge of language learning processes, preparing them for advanced research or professional work in this field.
