Introduction
The Applied Linguistics and TESOL team has an outstanding international reputation. We conduct research in all areas of our field, including English for Academic Purposes (EAP), Second Language Acquisition (SLA), Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL), corpus linguistics, interlanguage pragmatics and spoken discourse.
Our TESOL master’s degrees are taught by experts in fields such as spoken discourse, Second Language Acquisition (SLA), pragmatics, corpus linguistics and English for Academic Purposes (EAP). We also have expertise in other aspects of language study including sociolinguistics, discourse analysis and stylistics. The MA is unique because it offers a work experience module teaching real learners of English as an additional language and the chance to take the Cambridge CELTA at a discounted rate.
