APG5124 Applying language to personal and professional contexts

This capstone unit teaches students to apply their knowledge of language in multilingual settings to a range of personal and professional contexts where language plays a key role. It requires them to practice using knowledge and skills to engage with a range of data-driven tasks. Across the unit, assessment tasks call for application and critical evaluation, as the culmination of students’ learning across the Master of Applied Linguistics. The unit particularly encourages students to integrate an awareness of the complexity of language with their own personal and professional experiences, notably as regards the growing value of language as a resource and marker of personal and professional identity.
