It gives the opportunity to students to put everything they have learned in the earlier modules into their investigations. They will write a research proposal, plan, design and develop a study, conduct an investigation, collect data, analyse it and disseminate it. This will entail the use of technology. This journey will bring students closer to examining their profession in depth and help them seek various ways of making a difference and improving language teaching through TELL.

LCE 515 Technology Enhanced Language Assessment & Testing (TELAT)

LCE515 aims to provide students with background knowledge in L2 curriculum and syllabus design, development and evaluation, in order to be able to autonomously design, develop and evaluate their curricula. LCE515 considers a number of current approaches to language syllabus design in second and foreign language teaching contexts. These include functional-notional, communicative, content based, task-based, genre-based, and competency-based syllabi. The course draws from SLA, Language Teaching Methodologies, TELL and L2 Assessment and Evaluation. It gives the opportunity to students to put everything they have learned in the other courses into curriculum development. They plan, design and develop a syllabus and a lesson plan drawn from their current practice context. This will include learning (and assessment) tasks in all language skills. This will entail the use of TELL. Students evaluate their current curriculum, give suggestions for improvement, trial and evaluate their improvements and draw conclusions. The implementation occurs in class with their students, as well as in online synchronous & asynchronous environments, in the form of microteaching. This course also links with course 8, which deals with personal teaching experience in ESL at tertiary level and online teaching and learning.

LCE 516 Emerging Technologies in Language Learning (ETLL)

LCE516 aims to provide students with the background knowledge of various emerging technologies required to allow them to independently pursue research in the field of TELL and undertake the application of these technologies in their own language teaching context. To achieve this goal, students will discover where different emerging technologies have come from, where they are now, and their likely future directions. The course presupposes a broad knowledge of Technology Enhanced Language Learning, its historical development and applications. Working together in small groups, students exploit Internet resources (search engines, websites) and communication technologies (discussion forums, chats, wikis, blogs) and proceed to more emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, Natural Language Processing, robotics, virtual and augmented reality focusing mainly on their affordances and constraints. Pedagogically, emerging technologies are examined relative to the skill areas that have been targeted and the underlying methodological approaches that have been followed. Using their own devices students gain first-hand experience in creating and using different emerging technologies based upon learner-centered, constructivist, pedagogical principles. At the end of the course, through the e-portfolios, students will possess an extensive summary of what they have learned and created in the course for their future reference in the MA in TELL programme and ongoing professional development.

LCE 517 TELL from the Student Perspective (TELLSP)

LCE 517 is designed to develop and build on what has been discussed and practised in other courses in the specific online MA programme. The module is divided into three parts. In the first component, the aim is to provide learners with the theoretical background of evaluating and developing e-material and providing them with the opportunity to put this input into practice, through the use of technologies. The learners who are already practising language instructors can evaluate e-material they use and develop e-material for the needs of their students. The learners who still do not practise the profession will be provided with e-material to evaluate and a context for which they can develop e-material. Moreover, they will be introduced to topics such as writing and giving clear instructions for language classroom purposes, as well as technologies they can use to create presentations and handouts. In the second component of the course, learners will experience online Language for General Purposes classes, taking the role of students, and will be asked to evaluate the methodologies and e-materials used. In the last part of the module, learners will be asked to put current language teaching methodologies into practice through online microteaching. In this case, they will be asked to implement the e-material they evaluate and develop, through the use of technologies. The language instructor (MA student) will be observed by the module instructor as well as the other learners who will act as language students and they will provide feedback to the former. The lessons use and recommend a variety of technology tools that can be used for pedagogical purposes. For this purpose, the students will have to attend synchronous and asynchronous online lessons, in which they are provided with activities that are designed based on recent developments in language teaching, focusing on the usage of technology (link with courses LCE 512, 515 & LCE 516). Assessment will be based on the completion of the variety of weekly activities, including e-materials evaluation and development, microteaching and an e-portfolio. On completion of this course, participants should be able to use technology tools (link with courses 512 & 516) for pedagogical purposes. They will also be able to practise in reflective learning, self-assessment (link with LCE 515).

LCE 580 MA Dissertation

The LCE580 MA Dissertation Course offers students the chance to undertake and complete a sustained research project (approximately 15,000 words or 20,000 words depending on the research route you are taking) on a topic of special interest. To write a dissertation, students must firstly identify the broad area of interest before the commencement of the semester and during LCE514 Research Methodologies in Applied Linguistics. Once students register to the course, they should indicate their provisional option choices depending on their research interests. After approval of the research topics from the MA in TELL academic committee, students will be guided as to how to carry out their research study, both the theoretical (LCE 510, LCE 511, LCE 512, LCE 513, LCE 515, LCE 516, LCE 517) and methodological part (LCE 514), following step-by-step weekly activities and timeline.
