The Master of Arts in Applied English Linguistics (MAAEL) programme is designed to meet the growing demand from professionals and individuals who are concerned with the use of language in a wide range of situations. It introduces students to the application of linguistic theories and methods in a variety of professional settings. It is therefore relevant not only to language teachers, but also to those who have a general interest in language issues or engage in solving language-related problems in other professions.
The programme aims to develop in students a broad understanding of the systems of English; a general knowledge of the central issues in applied linguistics; the skills required for conducting research in applied linguistics; and a critical awareness of the role of language in addressing real-world problems in different contexts, such as education, translation and the legal sector.
