Research Methods
This course offers an introduction to key methodologies
and techniques used in Modern Language research, and
their effective application. It aims to inculcate sound and
ethical research habits, from the initial bibliographical
research and literary review, through core organizational,
critical and presentational skills, to the timely
dissemination of information. By combining generic and
discipline-specific input, it aims to make available a wide
range of contexts against which students can test their
own ideas. Texts in the program languages will be
examined.
