In this course students will undertake advanced readings in Linguistics, in order to increase their critical understandings of identified works and how they are situated in the field. Students will continue their training in approaches to Linguistics and engage with pre-professional and professional scholars by attending, and reflecting in writing on, seminar papers presented in relevant seminars (typically in Linguistics or Language Teaching seminars or forums, in person or online).
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- review and evaluate the approaches used by Linguistics scholars to address the development of thinking in the discipline;
- review and evaluate the types of evidence used in Linguistics to support or refute hypotheses;
- demonstrate critical engagement with Linguistic arguments in a range of sub-areas; and
- demonstrate enhanced skills in synthesising and critiquing published works.
