Summary
-
This MA explores the fundamental role of language and literacy in education: for learning in every subject, for democratic empowerment, and for understanding self and world.
-
In the core module, Reading the World, you will explore how readers make sense of written text, and how learners can be supported to read with high-levels of comprehension.
-
In the core module, Writing the Future, you will explore the cognitive processes involved in writing, as well as the social influences which shape what and how we write.
-
A distinctive feature of the programme is that each of the core modules also focuses on your own personal development, looking at children’s literature and reading for pleasure, and engaging you in undertaking your own creative writing.
-
The course involves critical enquiry which will improve the outcomes of learners in reading and writing in your school, or other settings.
-
Using a flexible, blended approach to learning (combining online and face-to-face teaching), the MA is designed specifically for busy professionals who wish to develop their knowledge and expertise.
