The Cross-Cultural Communication and Applied Linguistics MA offers theory, research, and practical training. This covers international and intercultural communication, as well as foreign and second language learning and teaching.
We also provide training on the analysis of language in use in a variety of settings, and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).
The Applied Linguistics pathway is a specialism on the Cross-Cultural Communication MA.
Applied linguistics and communication staff within the School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences deliver this specialist pathway.
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.
