Course summary

This unique course bridges the gap between linguistic theory and language teaching practice to enable you to develop a career in language teaching or research. Whether you’re already a teacher or you plan to become one, this degree offers you an in-depth theoretical and methodological understanding of how language is structured, used and interpreted and how this can inform language teaching. Core modules will introduce you to key topics in linguistics such as syntax, phonetics and phonology, as well as teaching methodologies and how they are applied. You will also improve your knowledge of research methods in language sciences. To enhance your knowledge, you will choose from optional modules to suit your career plans or interests, on topics such as second language acquisition or pragmatics and discourse analysis. With support from expert tutors within the Language at Leeds research network, you will gain valuable skills and a sound knowledge base to prepare you for further research or to inform your teaching practice. Specialist facilitiesLeeds is a fantastic place to study linguistics and phonetics. Our tutors and research students are active members of the wider Language at Leeds network which brings together researchers from across the University. You'll be able to enhance your learning with an array of research events throughout the year.
