About the Project
Dr Katie Dunworth is interested in supervision of research projects in the areas of English for academic purposes, English as a medium of instruction, English language proficiency, English language testing and assessment, and English in an international higher education context.
Her recent research projects have focused on English language development in higher education and the role of written feedback in higher education.
She is particularly interested in qualitative or mixed methods approaches, but has worked with research students undertaking many types of studies, including conversation analysis, discourse analysis, interviews, focus groups, case studies and survey research.
Funding Notes
Dr Dunworth will consider applications from those applicants who are happy to compete for University and Graduate School funding or obtain external funding. Funding is difficult to obtain and highly competitive. You are responsible for researching sources of funding early (in some cases up to 12 months in advance) and applying (in conjunction with your agreed supervisor) for as many as possible. For further details of Graduate School funding competitions see the webpage: http://www.bath.ac.uk/hss/graduate-school/research-programmes/funding/
