Learning to investigate language
The programme explores language acquisition from several theoretical perspectives and develops research methods. Students work in a research environment and encounter visiting specialists through lectures and seminars.
It could be a good fit if you enjoy looking closely at how learners communicate, testing an explanation against evidence or connecting classroom experiences with broader questions. Think about a question from your own language-learning journey that you would like to investigate.
