Teaching method
The different modules will include a theoretical and a pratical component, which will enable the students to get acquainted with specific research methodologies. In each module the student will have to complete a short assignment applying specific tools.
Evaluation method
The final grade will result from the mean of the grades obtained in each module.
Subject matter
According to the specific specialty areas available in each academic year, several modules will be offered on specific methodologies for each linguistics research field (including, among others, methods of corpus analysis, experimental methods, qualitative analysis methodologies, fieldwork) and on cross-disciplinary skills for the development of research (statistical analysis, communicating science, research ethics, research skills, among others). Some of these modules may be obtained in NOVA´s doctoral school. The choice of the different modules will be supervised by each student´s supervisor.
