Location of University of Essex

The University of Essex is one of the UK's leading academic institutions, ranked ninth nationally for research excellence following the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE).

Our MA Applied Linguistics explores the results of recent empirical studies of second language acquisition, focusing on how learners develop L2 knowledge and what role classroom practice plays in that development.

You learn to apply the insights of current linguistic theory in understanding and explaining non-native language acquisition. Our core topics include: second language acquisition, language teaching, linguistic theory and research methods for studying language, with a wide range of options in applied linguistics for you to choose from (including materials evaluation, language testing, sociolinguistics, first language acquisition, computers in language learning, language disorders and pragmatics).
