M.Phil./P.Grad.Dip. (exit only) in English Language Teaching (ELT) (a new course proposal and the restructuring of current M.Phil. courses in the School of Linguistic, Speech and Communication Sciences)
The Dean welcomed Prof. David Little (Head of School) and Dr Jeffrey Kallen (the proposed course director) and invited them to speak to the circulated course proposal. Prof. Little explained that the School is proposing a comprehensive revision of its M.Phil. programmes in order to rationalize and harmonize course provision by adopting a modular structure, revise modules to align them more closely with the School’s strategic research aims, allow students a greater freedom of choice among course modules, and to introduce a new course leading to an M.Phil. in English Language Teaching (ELT). The general aim of this revision is to introduce more flexible taught M.Phil. programmes that will attract larger numbers of students, in particular non-EU students; and to connect the taught courses more directly with the School’s research programmes. A further important motivation is to facilitate future cross-over with the School’s M.Sc. programmes in Clinical Speech and Language Studies, and to design courses that can be offered in the first year of integrated PhD programmes initially in speech science and then in linguistics and applied linguistics. There are currently 34 course units and though these have been successful and evolved over successive revisions, the Course Committee has identified three main challenges to the strategic aims of expanding student numbers, increasing flexibility and adding an extra degree programme. The four main issues are (i) that too many courses units are offered in each programme; (ii) that the units are too small; and (iii) that they are too rigidly demarcated between the degrees, preventing students from taking modules in other degree programmes. The fourth issue concerns assessment: the course currently follows the historical
precedent of allowing students to audit a range of courses and then choose a subset upon which to base their written assignments. This pattern is a barrier to modularisation and the current review seeks to change it by incorporating appropriate assessment into each module and reduce their number so that they can be more effectively shared across the whole M.Phil. portfolio in the School. Dr Kallen subsequently clarified that the new ELT course would aim at mainly non-EU applicants as there had been numerous expressions of interest about such an applied course, should it be offered by the School, received already from overseas enquirers mainly from the USA and Asia. The non-EU cohort of students constitutes currently a substantial component of the postgraduate student population (5 out of the total number of 31).
In a discussion which followed a number of issues were raised including clarification that there would only be one Course Management Committee for all the M.Phil. courses in order to enhance integration between the courses which share in the main a common pool of modules; that no provision would intentionally be made for an experiential learning on the new ELT course as the course will target professionally experienced teachers; that additional costs have been projected in order to support teaching of the English language to non-EU students on an optional pre-course basis. The Committee queried the financial template submitted in the proposal as it is not ARAM-compliant. The Dean explained that he had sought clarification re this template with the Treasurer’s Office and was advised that the current template should continue to be used pending its revision at a later date. Prof. Saeed, Director of Teaching and Learning (Postgraduate) in the
School clarified that promotion of the course is being planned in conjunction with the International Student Affairs Office (the India Desk), and independently by the School, and would start in earnest after the approval of the course by Council.
The issue of promotion led to a further general query about clarity as to how the ISA Office actually supports postgraduate courses in terms of promoting them effectively overseas. Dean advised that the ISA Office appears to be quite active in promoting pg taught courses especially at fairs in Asia. Given the importance of successful promotion in a highly competitive global postgraduate education market, it was agreed that Dean would invite Mr John McPartland,
Director of the ISA Office, to attend a meeting of the Committee later in the year to shed more light on this issue.
After further more general discussion on admissions issues the Committee was happy to approve the proposal subject to any additional amendments as specified in the forthcoming assessor’s report to the version going to Council.
