Applied Linguistics
Applied Linguistics at Newcastle has a major
international reputation for its research on
Second Language (L2) learning and use. The group
focuses on the relationship between L1 and L2 use and
learning, and, as well as advancing aspects of theory,
it has also achieved theoretically-grounded practical
outcomes. A number of influential theoretical models are associated with our work, e.g. Multi-competence (Cook), Processability Theory (Pienemann), and CA/social-interactionist approaches (Seedhouse, Firth, Walsh).
We have supervised well over 100 doctoral students from across the world. We also host an ESRC recognised MRes in Applied Linguistics and offer an Integrated PhD and conventional PhDs as well as the MA in Applied Linguistics & TESOL and MA in Cross-Cultural Communication. The group is a corporate member of the British Association of Applied Linguistics.
