Course Summary

School of Languages, Linguistics and Film

The School of Languages, Linguistics and Film explores global culture and communication through a vibrant interdisciplinary environment with five distinct but interconnected areas of academic excellence. Our multilingual community brings together brilliant minds from across the world to share a wealth of expertise – from practical film-making and contemporary literature to experimental neurolinguistics and 11 different modern languages – so that students can become truly global citizens.

Our School’s five Departments are united by the common threads of communication and culture, opening the doors to new worlds of opportunity. Both a single and richly varied entity, our School’s work enables creative thinking that goes beyond national, linguistic and cultural boundaries. We combine research excellence with an unrivalled commitment to social justice and social mobility, true to the Queen Mary spirit, achieving the previously unthinkable through our School’s unique mix of bright minds.

Modules

Second Language Acquisition is a compulsory module on the MA in Applied Linguistics for English Language Teaching. Students are presented with a comprehensive overview of theories and current research in second language acquisition; in addition, students have opportunities to put language learning strategies into practice by being required, as part of this module, to learn a language which is not their own. Students can choose from: French, Spanish, German, Arabic, Japanese or Mandarin (depending on timetable constraints). Proficiency in the chosen language is not assessed, but we ask you to reflect on the learning strategies that you use while following your language course. The module explores: the history of language learning; goals of language teaching; the L2 user and the native speaker; individual learner differences; motivation and aptitude; learner strategies; multiple intelligences and multi-competences; group dynamics; general models of L2 learning; the interaction approach; socio-cultural SLA theory.
