In consultation with the MA in applied linguistics coordinator, students will identify a topic of interest to them in which a staff member in the department has expertise. Students will then be allocated to a `supervisor' for their guided reading. Guided reading will involve the location and critical examination of the relevant literature in the chosen topic. Students will be required to discuss their reading with the supervisor on a regular basis. The examination of the reading and its discussion with the supervisor will form the basis of the assessment for the subject.
