You will also explore the role of technology in language teaching and its practical applications, and how to become an effective intercultural communicator.

On successful completion of the programme, you will be equipped to work in a variety of professional TESOL settings globally, including mainstream education and the private sector as teachers of English as a foreign language, publishing houses and English for Specific Purposes (ESP) or IELTS preparation contexts.
