Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Have a complete understanding. Analyse any communicative situation (real or depicted) in reference to the theoretical and methodological frameworks within various scientific approaches to language.
    • Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge and methodological approaches to understand and explain the normal/atypical/pathological functioning of individuals, groups or organisations, using any form of language.
    • Analyse and model a communicative situation (individually or collectively) by critically selecting isolated theories and suitable methodological approaches.
    • Critically analyse the extent and limitations of different types of intervention in a situation of linguistic nature.
  • Adopt a scientific approach. Master the scientific approaches in language sciences.
    • Master the different steps to carry out research in language sciences.
    • Appropriately apply different scientific research methods.
    • Construct a reference framework, formulate questions or hypotheses from the analysis of scientific literature.
    • Collect data and thoroughly analyse it qualitatively and quantitatively.
    • Adequately interpret results taking into account the reference framework within which the research was developed.
    • Develop communication skills specific to the field of research (publication, proficiency in English or another language depending on the specific field of research).
    • Present research results, orally and in writing, in their native language and in English or another language depending on the specific field of research.
  • Have a willingness to keep learning. Assess and pursue professional and personal development.
    • Monitor knowledge and methodological approaches in order to evolve their thinking and practice.
