Application Procedures
The workshops and seminars forming part of the Summer School will be facilitated by several international academics. These include Prof Ofelia García (City University of New York) Prof Sarah Mercer (University of Graz), Prof Pascual Pérez-Paredes (University of Murcia), Prof Shelley Staples (University of Arizona), and Dr Robbie Love (Aston University), Dr Jason Anderson (Warwick University). These academics will also be delivering talks on how they manage their research projects and deal with the challenges that arise in the process of doing empirical research.
An integral part of the Summer School consists of the one-on-one consultation sessions that students can sign up for with any of the above academics. These sessions will enable each student to discuss their doctoral research with someone who is highly experienced in doing research and supervising doctoral work.
Students are welcome from across the globe and it is anticipated that this will be a truly international exchange. In order for students to be eligible to attend the Summer School, they will need to be enrolled on a doctoral programme in Applied Linguistics and/or TESOL at a higher education institution.
