Module overview

The Advanced Skills Portfolio documents your development in and mastery of a range of subject-specific, transferable and generic skills during the first two years of the research phase of the IPhD Applied Linguistics/English Language Teaching programme. It is compiled as part of your preparation for your PhD Confirmation, building on a range of different learning activities and experiences undertaken during this doctoral programme. You will be invited to start planning your Advanced Skills Portfolio in your first year of the programme.

Through your ongoing preparation of the Advanced Skills Portfolio over parts two and three of the IPhD, you will reflect critically on your developing research expertise, professional training, personal development, and employability. This will help identify areas of your development to focus on in the latter stages of the doctoral journey, supporting you in the transition to a future career as an academic, a researcher, a teacher, or in other employment sectors. The written portfolio is formally assessed.
