MA/Diploma in Applied Linguistics
 
General course description:
This is a modular, credit-based course, usually taken on a part-time basis.
The minimum registration period is normally two academic years, and the
maximum normally five years.  The average length of study tends to be two and
a half to three years.  Modules are taught on week-day evenings over a single
term.
 
Accreditation and course structure:
MA students have to accumulate 48 credits; diploma students 36.  Each module
has a credit value of 6.  The dissertation has a credit value of 12.
MA students must complete 6 modules and submit a dissertation.  Diploma
students must complete 6 modules.  All students must attend an induction course.
MA students must, in addition, attend a research methods course.
 
Of the 6 modules, at least 4 must be from the list of core modules, but
students may opt to take 5 or all 6 modules from this list.  Up to 2 modules
may be taken from the list of additional modules.  Currently, the following
modules are available.
 
Core modules:
Introductory Linguistics - Christopher Lyons
Translation Studies - Myriam Salama Carr
Second Language Acquisition - Richard Towell
Bilingulism - Charlotte Hoffmann
Pragmatics - Stephen Thomas
Sociolinguistics - Mike Holt
The Pragmatics of Style - Leo Hickey
French Descriptive Linguistics - Jean-Pierre Mailhac
Topics in Syntactic Theory - Paul Rowlett
Applied Text Linguistics - Said Faiq
 
Additional modules:

Course organisation:
The programme is organised on a term-based timetable, beginning in autumn.
Each module usually takes up 30 teaching hours, followed by an examination.
The induction course takes place in the autumn before module teaching begins.
All students must attend this course.  MA students must also attend a research
methods course which normally takes place immediately prior to summer term
teaching.
 
Dissertation:
MA students embark on a dissertation, under supervision, after completing
their final module.  It should be up to 15,000 words in length and normally
on a topic which falls within the area of one of the core modules.  Most
students take between 3 and 8 months to complete and write up their research.
 
Assessment:
Most modules are assessed by a combination of examination and contintuous
assessment which may take the form of a project, one or two essays or
translations.  The element of continuous assessment varies from module to
module but does not exceed 50 per cent of the overall mark.
