Applications are invited for a three-year PhD studentship, supported by the College of Business and Social Sciences to be undertaken within the Department of English, Languages and Applied Linguistics at Aston University.
The position is available to start in January 2025.
Financial Support
This studentship includes a fee bursary to cover the home or overseas fees rate, plus a maintenance allowance of £19,237 per year for the full 3 year programme.
Background to the Project
This full-time funded PhD studentship research project is situated in the field of TESOL and corpus linguistics. This study will explore how ChatGPT can be utilised as a self-regulating tool to enhance academic writing among second language (L2) English speakers in higher education. Working with Dr Joyce Lim and Dr Stephen Pihlaja, the successful candidate will gather data to conduct both quantitative and qualitative analysis to investigate the different strategies L2 English students implement while using ChatGPT in academic writing and create a corpus of sample academic writing to explore various syntactic and lexical differences in L2 students’ writing before and after utilising ChatGPT.
This studentship offers a unique opportunity to make a significant contribution to the newly growing field of artificial intelligence (AI), specifically in the realm of language education. It also offers an exciting opportunity to explore some of the challenges and setbacks of AI tools in academic writing and suggest ways in which these tools can be used confidently and effectively among language learners.
Person Specification
The successful candidate should hold a Masters degree in the social sciences (or related disciplines) with a Merit overall (or equivalent) with a dissertation/research element, PLUS a First or Upper Second Class Honours degree (or an equivalent qualification from an overseas institution).
