MA
Summary
At Sussex, we view Applied Linguistics as the practical application of linguistic knowledge. This includes topics from language acquisition to forensic linguistics and intercultural communication.
English is a world language, used for global communication ranging from education to advertising and public relations. Exploring the teaching of English to speakers of other languages (TESOL), you’ll gain knowledge about the social functions and contexts of language use, and how research is applied to practice.
You’ll be taught by experts in Linguistics and language teaching. You’ll find out how languages are structured, used and learned, and gain cultural awareness skills.
This course is for you if you’re:
- a graduate in Linguistics, English Language, or Modern Foreign Languages and want to build on your undergraduate degree
- a graduate from any discipline or an English Language Teaching (ELT) professional and plan to advance your career with a Masters-level qualification.
**TEFL qualification**
If you have appropriate previous teaching qualifications and experience, and successfully complete the Advanced Practical Teaching option, you’ll be deemed TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) qualified, as defined by the British Council Accreditation Scheme.
We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
Level | RQF Level 7 |
---|---|
Entry requirements | You should normally have an upper second-class (2.1) undergraduate honours degree or above. Your qualification should be in linguistics, English language, modern languages, or a subject which has included a significant linguistic component (e.g. a linguistics pathway or minor). Alternatively, you should have a degree (or equivalent) in any subject, and substantial work experience (two years’ full-time or equivalent) in a language-related profession (for example language teacher, language support assistant or translator). You may also be considered for the course if you have other professional qualifications or experience of equivalent standing. |
