BA (Hons) English Language and Linguistics

We place emphasis on acquiring individual transferable skills as well as developing knowledge and skills important to analytical processes.

Teaching on the course is through:

Lectures: a formal method of teaching, with one lecturer addressing a large group of students from different courses
Tutorials: an informal method of small-group teaching that is student-oriented and often student-led
Seminars: an informal teaching situation which tends to be a mixture of tutor-led and student-led discussion
Student-directed study, where projects are assigned and deadlines given.
Students engage in independent learning throughout the programme with individual supervision provided by personal and academic tutors.
Use of blended learning (e-learning) is a feature of some modules in this programme (e.g. Structure of English).
A range of linguistics modules are supported by a Peer Assisted Study Scheme.

Assessment

We employ a variety of different assessment methods depending on the module. These include:
