This course explores the role of media in the teaching and learning of languages. Students consider and create teaching resources which exploit digital technologies. Typical areas for investigation include interactive multimedia, podcasting and vodcasting, the use of social software such as blogs and wikis, and the use of interactive electronic whiteboards. Participants develop analytical and investigative skills in relation to language learning and teaching generally.
Career and progression opportunities
Graduates typically take up positions dealing with the development and evaluation of language learning materials - for example, as project managers, materials authors or developers, self-access centre managers, or teacher trainers in the area of blended learning.

Course structure
Students engage in preparatory reading for weekly seminars, which offer opportunities for discussion. They may also be asked to present their ideas formally to fellow students. In addition, students are expected to work independently, reading around their subject, identifying relevant areas for further enquiry, and undertaking a small-scale research study. Students are supported through individual tutorials and the university's online virtual learning environment studentcentral. There is a practical element enabling students to develop the skills needed to work with the digital tools required for materials design and production.
Areas of study
An introductory module helps develop critical reading. Three modules examine various aspects of applied linguistics, including pedagogic grammar, second language acquisition and varieties of English. Two further modules examine how language learners' needs can be addressed using media technologies and purpose-made materials. Participants choose one option module from either: language teacher development or varieties of English. Students also attend a series of seminars on research methods and carry out a piece of original research for the dissertation.
