Organisation profile
The Department of English and Germanic Studies represents a wide range of research interests such as experimental phonology, women writers, sociolinguistics, the interface between cinema and literature, corpus linguistics, psycholinguistics, Post-Colonial literature and second language acquisition.
We combine this with a strong emphasis on creating a quality learning experience in the classroom, as reflected in our ongoing participation in the university?s Teaching Enhancement programs. We also believe that our work implies a shared endeavour with our students, who have a permanent voice in departmental matters through their Student Delegation, one of the few elected bodies of its kind at the UAB.
