Ethical Education in Applied Linguistics:A Case of Applied Linguistics Course at the City University of Macau
Ethical consideration for research in applied linguistics becomes a current concern in higher education worldwide.In China's higher education,it appears to have an inconsistent input on ethical education for research or professional training.It seems that there is no named course of ethical education provided for research purposes in language,linguistics and applied linguistics programmes,although some mention of ethical issues may be given by individual teaching staff without any standardized course design.The newly developed Ph.D in applied linguistics programme at City University of Macau has taken the ethical issues seriously and designed a course to train doctoral students to highlight their consideration in designing empirical studies for their coursework and final thesis.This paper presents the principles and objectives of ethical education,the structure and content of the course,and challenges faced while understanding the nature of ethical issues with some discussion to cases of ethical issues used for teaching and learning in the course.
