From Words to Interaction (Q1092)

30 credits, Level 4

Spring teaching

Have you ever wondered why there are so many different ways to ask for a favour or turn down an invitation? In this module, you’ll dive deeper into grammatical structure and conversational interaction, exploring how they work together.

As well as introducing you to the structure of grammar and conversation, there's also a focus on practical data analysis. You’ll develop university-level skills in data analysis and presentation, preparing you for original research.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 300 hours of work. This breaks down into about 44 hours of contact time and about 256 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2024/25. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
