Course summary
Are you interested in a career in English language teaching? Are you already a teacher of English and want to advance your professional standing? Our popular MA Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is designed for practising teachers of English to speakers of other languages. We explore different approaches to the teaching and learning of English and study the close relationship between language teaching theory and practice. The programme encourages you to use the concepts and theories that you encounter during your course of study in your own classroom. It is a set of interactive course materials to complete in part-time, self-study mode over a period of at least 30 months.
Modules
You will study four core modules and two optional modules before completing your dissertation. Core modules: Classroom Research and Research Methods; Language Teaching Methodology; Pedagogic Grammar; Syllabus and Materials Design.
Entry requirements
We usually ask for a good Honours degree, or overseas equivalent. However, when considering your application, we will consider professional qualifications and work experience as well as your academic credentials. For this reason, it is important to provide details of any current and/or previous employment in your application; it is always helpful to include a current CV but please complete the relevant sections of the application form as well.
