Overview

While the concepts covered in the Applied Linguistics for Language Teaching course at the University of Oxford can be applied to all languages in most contexts, there is a strong opportunity for students to specialize in the teaching of English language in university settings.

Structure:

A low-residency course, it is characterised by intense online interaction and feedback, using a range of communication media. Its small-group teaching format pursues the Oxford tradition of demanding much of students and giving them much in return. The course offers a stimulating environment in which students can broaden their knowledge, deepen their understanding and sharpen their skills in contact with current research in applied linguistics.

Students are admitted in the first instance as students on the Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) in Applied Linguistics for Language Teaching. After completing PGDip modules they then progress to the MSc, and complete their dissertation during that year, under the supervision of a member of the applied linguistics group.
