Capstone: Portfolio option

The portfolio, to be completed during the second semester (for full-time students) or the fourth semester (for part-time students), provides students with an opportunity to build on their knowledge gained from core and/or elective courses to produce a substantial piece of work .

Two options are available:
Option A: Students are required to draw references from a minimum of two courses, write a mission statement and a personal reflection under the guidance of an assigned supervisor who provides advice on the process of producing the portfolio. They are expected to spend much of their time on independent writing and write a portfolio of no more than 12,500 words. 

Option B: Students are required to develop a suite of 8-10 hours of original learning materials on an English or Applied Linguistics topic (at senior secondary level or above) under the guidance of an assigned supervisor who provides advice on the process of producing the portfolio. They are expected to spend much of their time on materials development and independent writing.  The portfolio should be no more than 10,000 words.
