Interrogate and contribute to linguistics across a number of contexts, including English language teaching, politics, policy writing, social activism, journalism and media, and charity work.

Linguistic issues impact almost every sector on local, national and international levels. New researchers are needed to help overcome these issues and offer new practices, processes and ways of knowledge being distributed across multiple industries.

On this course, you will develop the skills needed for effective research. These include knowledge of professional responsibility, integrity and ethics and the ability to reflect on your own progress as a learner. You'll benefit from networking opportunities with two communities of scholars: taught MA students and postgraduate research students.

You will study the two 30 credit taught modules alongside students from the TESOL MA suite. While carrying out the research project for the 120 credit thesis, you'll be welcomed into our community of postgraduate research students.

Our staff are experts in diverse topics within Linguistics and Languages. These include:

  • Child language acquisition
  • Language and literacy
  • Plurilithic Englishes and English as a lingua franca
  • Multilingualism
  • The experiences of deaf communities
  • Second language teaching and learning of East Asian languages
