TESOL is a dynamic, challenging and fun programme that will improve teaching skills through greater professional knowledge and enhanced confidence.
It is useful for EFL, ESL and TESOL teachers, teacher trainers, head teachers and materials/curriculum/policy designers.
The programme aims to give participants the opportunity to develop their knowledge and expertise in all aspects of TESOL. It offers the possibility of exploring methods of TESOL teacher education and supervision. It provides participants with the opportunity to upgrade their knowledge of language, methodology and curriculum design, focusing on learners' needs.
This programme will enable TESOL teachers to train other TESOL teachers; work in management of TESOL education; combine TESOL with Business and Information and Communication Technology (ICT); specialise in TESOL for Young Learners; and develop research skills. The MSc TESOL is also a good introduction to PhD or EdD.
Learning Outcomes On completion, participants should be able to appraise critically English language teaching practice, be able to reflect on their professional knowledge with regard to the appropriateness of its application in a range of educational contexts and be able to design, implement and evaluate substantial research or development tasks.
Overall, participants should be able to modify their own practice of TESOL and teacher education for TESOL in the light of developing theory and changing conditions in which they have to operate.
Contents
The MSc TESOL can be studied in contact mode (12 months full-time or up to 72 months part-time).
