Course content

As a Masters student at ARU, we’ll help you learn to carry out your own research and how to compile and analyse quantitative and qualitative data. You’ll be able to use the critical-evaluative skills you develop on your own research project at the end of the course, as well as in your future career.

Studying Applied Linguistics and TESOL will give you the chance to take part in our research seminars and high-profile conferences. We’ll also help you make valuable contacts for your future through our links to language companies such as EF, Bell, and Studio, a group for heads of language schools.

You’ll explore the latest theories in topics such as second language acquisition and classroom theory and practice, examining different methods of analysis. Your studies will be supported throughout by our research-active and industry-experienced academics, including DELTA-qualified professionals.
