Languages, linguistics and TESOL have been taught at York St John University for over 40 years. On this website you can find information about our programmes aimed at students starting one of our programmes in September, find out about our staff research and how it connects to our teaching, and see some of our students’ work on key topics in the study of language(s). You can combine studying Linguistics with TESOL, Japanese, Korean, Intercultural Communication, BSL and Deaf Studies, or you can study English language and linguistics on its own. There are undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Check out the university website for full details of our programmes and course combinations. We will be adding to these pages in the coming months, so please check back in frequently.
On these pages we introduce some of our student work and extra-curricular activities. Among the student work are some examples of online portfolios that were created for ‘Reflections and Connections in Linguistics’, a third year undergraduate module. The module invites critical evaluation and integration of themes from across and beyond. You can access the students’ portfolios by clicking on the ‘Student Work’ tab above. Inside the portfolios you will see a wide range of topic-relevant materials, including: mind maps, blogs, PowerPoint presentations, images, think pieces, critical commentaries and reading lists.
You can also read about other activities that our students engaged in as members of Languages and Linguistics, and about their subsequent careers. Click on the ‘Students’ tab above. There is also information about study abroad which is a compulsory part of the programme for students studying Japanese or Korean.
Special thanks to all the students who have given permission for their work to be published and to those who have created content for this site in the form of welcome messages, advice and student profiles.
