This innovative course is designed for prospective and experienced language teachers and language professionals who, in addition to broadening their knowledge-base on second language learning and teaching, want to gain expertise in corpus linguistics and in analysing language data.
In the course, you will learn about applications of corpora for a variety of areas of language teaching such as English for Specific Purposes and teaching materials development. The course is entirely web based and allows you to focus your coursework and dissertation on issues and problems pertinent to your own professional context.
The course starts with an online orientation session at the beginning of the academic year. During the course, you will work together with fellow students from different parts of the world in a supportive online learning environment. Throughout all of the modules and the dissertation component you will have access to our team of teaching staff for individual academic supervision, guidance and feedback.
