Methods in Applied English Linguistics

Education facts

Code: EN3073

The course offers an overview of key approaches to the analysis of linguistic data, focusing on applied English linguistics. Students will further develop their knowledge about qualitative and quantitative methods for analysing English language data. The methods covered will be applied and critically evaluated throughout the course, helping students also to develop their experience of coding linguistic data based on sample models from the literature. Students will also explore ways of drawing on linguistic data from previous research, such as applying the scientific principle of replicating a study; this involves reviewing and applying guidelines for academic integrity. The focus will be on using already available linguistic data, but students will also practice collecting their own data, in ways which follow guidelines for research ethics. Students will also analyze and practice ways of presenting linguistic data in scholarly writing, such as an MA degree thesis or a research article.
