MPhil Applied Linguistics is designed to help students develop the skills and experience they need for a successful career in teaching English as a second language. Pakistan’s educational institutes are in need of graduates with qualifications and expertise in teaching English. It will also be of interest to those who are already teachers and would like to increase their professional expertise by advancing their analytical knowledge and teaching theories. This program will equip students with an in-depth understanding of the language structure at different levels of analysis and the relationship between language and its use. Students will critically analyze how people learn languages, how English can be taught, and gain an in-depth understanding of the assessment and testing, used to teach English. Students will discuss and evaluate a range of perspectives in the language teaching curriculum and its delivery with which informed decisions about policy and practice can be taken. Students will also have the opportunity to study a range of optional modules in an area that is of particular interest and suits their career plans.
