Recommended Study Sequence

This unit is a research-based seminar. The candidate will be required to make a seminar presentation at one of the School's seminar series. The seminar presentation is designed to give students experience in presenting their work for feedback and critique in their area of interest.

This unit aims to help postgraduate students acquire the knowledge and skills to design and carry out a research project in the field of Languages and Linguistics (i.e. Contrastive Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, Language-in-Education Planning, First and Second Language Acquisition, Interpreting and Translation, Discourse Analysis and Descriptive Linguistics). It includes theoretical and practical work in specific areas of research in Languages and Linguistics.

This unit constitutes a 12,000-15,000 word research-based thesis in which students research their interests in depth in either a language/linguistics specific or a Translation/Interpreting-related field depending on the specialisation they are undertaking in the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Languages and Linguistics.

This unit develops and deepens students' understanding and appreciation of language(s) in their cultural contexts, both in the Australian context and also in a global context, enabling them to pursue postgraduate research in the area.

This unit aims to provide students with the opportunity to examine in depth some of the principal facets and manifestations of bilingualism and the problems involved in intercultural communication.

Contrastive Linguistics is fundamentally about learning to describe and discuss the differences and similarities between languages, and in doing so to better understand the complexity of cross-linguistic work. The unit is not designed to produce narrow specialists in any of the braches of linguistics; but the successful student will be able to engage with the broad mass of linguistics literature and thus be able to enrich their knowledge, develop specialised interests, and be able to use linguistic theory to enhance their professional work.

This is an elective unit for honours and postgraduate students of languages and linguistics to provide a focused theoretical and research framework in the area of second language acquisition (SLA) from a psycholinguistic viewpoint. This unit widens the theoretical and methodological basis of those students intending to undertake further studies and/or research in the Linguistics and SLA area and also serves the language teachers interested in applying SLA-based knowledge to pedagogy and classroom research.

This unit aims to develop in students an understanding of the intricacies of the language of the law when used in written documents and mainly in the context of the courtroom. It will provide students with a historical overview of the development of Law English, its aims and purposes and its current uses. Special emphasis will be placed on the implications of legal language on legal translations and court interpreting, but the unit is suitable for monolingual students interested in the language of the law.

This is unit counting towards 1599 BA (Honours) Languages & Linguistics and 1600 BA (Honours) Humanities who must submit a National Ethics Clearance Form (NEAF) or other ethics application. Understanding of ethical issues is crucial in conducting research involving human participants. This unit provides the necessary information and practical training for writing an ethically sound and sustainable research plan and to complete the ethics application to carry it out. Students enrolling in this unit are expected to submit a NEAF (National Ethics Application Form) as outcome of this unit. The unit is ungraded and the student will receive either Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory grade.
