Academic research is another important area of activity in EFL where staff have specialist research interests in second-language acquisition and computer-assisted language learning and supervise doctoral research. The School also has a long and proud tradition of academic excellence and in the last two research assessment exercises languages and linguistics submissions scored a top grade of 5.
