Course Code: MMAABS_06
Masters Level Module
This module aims to provide opportunities for participants to
explore the impact of social and personal factors on language and
literacy acquisition and development and to reflect critically on
the implications for their practice. We will evaluate the role of
context in language and literacy use, including the wider cultural,
linguistic, socio-economic structures and historical developments
that underpin current practices. We will investigate the impact of
personal factors on learning, with reference to issues such as
motivation and engagement, learner identities and aspirations and
individual cognitive abilities and disabilities, including
dyslexia. Participants will be invited to apply and evaluate
research and theory from a number of different perspectives and to
draw on the insights of learners in carrying out a case study of a
language community and an individual within it. The aim is to
create and maintain a stimulating and supportive learning
community. The module is available as a freestanding
course.
