Diploma Seminar 340-AH1-3SEM4

The seminar is intended for students interested in applied linguistics who would like to write their bachelor's thesis on teaching English. It is expected that students will work on a topic of their choice (approved by the supervisor) or a topic proposed by the supervisor, related to any chosen area of English language teaching methodology, such as English for specific purposes, special educational needs, queer issues, etc. The objective of the seminar is to equip students with the ability to formulate a research problem and thesis plan independently, to develop skills in literature study and critical analysis, to collect and analyse data, to draw conclusions and to write an undergraduate thesis based on this analysis. The course includes: an introduction to the formal principles and requirements for writing a thesis, discussions of issues related to the studied field and systematic meetings with the Promoter to discuss and correct individual parts of the thesis.
