The course has its disciplinary focus in Applied Linguistics. The course plan follows the general outline for doctoral courses under NORDPAL – The Nordic doctoral and postdoctoral network for Applied Linguistics (see https://www.ntnu.edu/nordpal). It starts with a session on the intellectual underpinnings of Applied Linguistics before moving on to the focal theme of oral communication in professional contexts. Under this theme three different sessions will present alternative approaches to analysis, including a data and methodology workshop (see attached course outline). Teaching is offered on the condition that there is a sufficient amount of students and resources.

Participants will be given experience presenting their work in an informal symposium setting as well as writing a course essay to discuss some aspect of their work presented within a framework of scientific publishing. They will learn the inner workings of international publishing processes from a very prominent journals and book series editor. Among the other learning outcomes, establishing an international network of fellow doctoral students and prominent senior scholars is important.
