This module offers bespoke research skills training for MRes/MA students in English Language. In bi-weekly synchronous sessions, we will cover topics such as research design, ethics, data collection/analysis, and presenting/disseminating research. Some of the later sessions will be student-led, i.e. (groups of) students will be asked to select the reading, prepare a seminar sheet, and lead the discussion. Topics for these sessions will be decided by the students (in consultation with the tutor(s)). By the end of the semester, students will be able to work on their own projects independently, based on the research skills that they have acquired.
