Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This is an interactive seminar-type course for students embarking on, or already working on, their linguistic MA thesis. The seminar will give participants the opportunity to discuss not only the progress of their own work but also issues arising from it of a more general theoretical or practical interest.

The aim of the course is twofold: first, to get to know and discuss the projects of fellow students and second, to consolidate the research skills necessary for an extended research report. The seminar also provides an opportunity for networking and mutual support among students at this (potentially more 'lonely') stage of their studies.

Course components include: introductory sessions; presentations of MA projects (in progress); all-class discussions of projects/work in progress; critical reading of academic publications (annotated references and group discussions); written review or reflective essay.

Assessment and permitted materials

presentation of master project; two written assignments (A: 6-8 annotated references; B: academic text of approx. 1000 words) on a topic related to master project; participation in class discussions
