Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course aims at establishing a forum for doctoral students in Educational Linguistics across the university. This course aims at enabling young researchers to position their PhD study within the larger area of educational, language-oriented research. This involves presenting research projects, defending standpoints, justifying methodological and analytic decisions and engaging in fruitful discussions.
We invite young researchers at all levels of their PhD thesis to engage in an exchange on theories and methods of researching language in the educational sphere. In particular this course will zoom in on decisive elements of the research process: the nature of research questions, the answers we are striving for and what can count as evidence. Further suggestions from participants are welcome. In the course of the semester we expect a guest speaker.
