Modern Languages at Southampton is one of the leading research departments in
the UK and was awarded the highest grade (5*) in the 2001 RAE. The department
has particular research strengths in linguistic (sociolinguistics, language
acquisition and language teaching), socio-political, literary and cultural
studies (Jewish studies and identity and migration research) in English, German,
French, Portuguese and Spanish. Research activities are focused on two Research
Centres: the Centre for Transnational Studies (www.transnational. soton.ac. uk)
and the Centre for Applied Language Research (www.calr.soton. ac.uk). Both
Centres run Masters programmes from which it will be possible to audit
individual modules.
