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. |
