• ALE116 A History of the English Language

  This module covers the history of the English language from its beginnings as part of the Indo-European family of languages, through its various changes: from Old English to Early Middle English and Early Modern English. You will determine the processes through which a standard (English) evolves, examining selected extracts of texts from different periods, reflecting on the relationships between the various chapters in the development of the English language. Throughout the module, students will consider some of the features of internal language systems alongside the social, cultural and political conditions and contexts for linguistic development and evolution.

• ALE228 Working with Practitioners (Health, Law, Education, Technology)

  Applied Linguistics connects language theories and evidence with real world challenges, and this often requires the applied linguist to work closely with professionals and practitioners. This module brings students into direct contact with these users of applied linguistics methods, via industry visits, case study analyses, and engagement experience (e.g. placement or project collaboration). Students will have the opportunity to focus on a particular industry sector (e.g. health care, law, education, technology) and to consider what they as applied linguists can learn from and contribute to that sector.

• ALE322 Language Policy and Planning

  This module looks at why we might need to plan for a language and how this might feed into policy. We will consider language planning from the point of view of both status planning (how a language is used within its community), corpus planning (the structure of a language) and acquisition planning (efforts to enable individuals or groups to learn a language). Attention will be given to bodies and institutions, which are involved in making language policy and examples from different language communities in the world will be studied. Throughout this module, we will explore the complex factors and implications of planning and policy: implications for equality and diversity, innovation versus conservative approaches and from a regional/national level to the international stage

• ALE323 Stylistics

  This course connects form with meaning and function, delving into major genres of cultural production to examine the linguistic choices made by authors or creators in order to create meaning and effect. Designed to provide a systematic way of exploring texts, the course will explore creativity in fictive language use, examining the clues that apprise us of the function and meaning(s) of language in any given text.

• ML-106 Cinema in a World Context

  With Hollywood continuing to dominate global cinematic production and consumption, this module will introduce students to a selection of films belonging to the concept generally categorised as "World Cinema". Lectures will explore both the thematic and technical elements of a selection of seven films, situating each one in its political, historical and global context. As such, the module offers insight into key cinematic forms, movements and moments. These range from the Third Cinema of Latin America, via the emergence of postcolonial cinema in Africa and feminist cinema in South Asia, to cult film in East Asia, period drama in Australasia and dance film in the Middle East. Through this introduction to a diverse range of cinemas, movements, styles and cultures, students will gain not only an understanding of the specifics of each individual film studied, but also a heightened understanding of the impact of World Cinema on western cinematic production.
