University of Leicester
speciality: Linguistics

Generally speaking, the university gives equal importance to both online programs and on campus programs.
The Applied linguistics and TESOL program is one great programs as it automatically grants access to a registered student to all the module materials. In other words, students can navigate through blackboard to check the material related to their semester or to have a look on the upcoming semesters. This is important for many students who would like to have an image of the next semester and how to plan it.

Furthermore, such online program is not totally isolated. 4 webinars are held each semester to facilitate communication between lecturers and students, not to mention the various threads available for casual talk among students.

Lastly, and most importantly, each student has the chance to contact his own tutor via email for any questions related to graded and ungraded assignments. Tutors help a lot by suggesting some books and articles for students to read.
