Course Summary

The Cross-Cultural Communication and Applied Linguistics MA provides theoretical, research and practical training in areas of international and intercultural communication. It also provides training on the analysis of language in use, in a variety of settings and on the teaching and learning of English as a second language.

Overview

The Applied Linguistics pathway is a specialism on the Cross-Cultural Communication MA. It allows you to study applied linguistics and intercultural communication. It provides knowledge and expertise in the new approaches and techniques for teaching English as a second or foreign language.

Applied linguistics and communication staff within the School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences deliver this specialist pathway. It offers a wide range of optional modules in the areas of applied linguistics and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).

Our applied linguistics academic staff have teaching and research expertise in:

  • second language acquisition
  • discourse analysis
  • classroom interaction
  • multimodal interaction
  • teaching and learning English through media and technology
  • teacher development

If you're interested in a career in language teaching, but have little or no previous teaching experience, you can take introductory modules in TESOL. You'll gain practical skills and knowledge needed for language teaching and learning.

Our Careers Service

Our award-winning Careers Service is one of the largest and best in the country, and we have strong links with employers. We provide an extensive range of opportunities to all students through our ncl+ initiative.

Modules

The overall aim of the Research Portfolio is consistent with the overall aim of the programme: to develop students’ knowledge of empirical research in Inter-Cultural Communication (ICC) and Cross-Cultural Communication (CCC), in conjunction with their chosen specialism, and to develop their skills as independent, critical researchers.
