Develop skills in using language and discourse data to solve real-world problems relevant to the use and learning of languages.
With access to large collections of language data used in different settings and new digital methods for analysing these collections, the way we understand how languages are used and learned is evolving.
Language and Discourse Analysis specialises in data-driven language use and learning and choosing this field of study will upgrade your expertise in digital and data literacy.
