The MA TESOL is aimed at teachers of English, recently qualified or with limited experience, who want to develop their careers. The course offers you opportunities to gain a deeper understanding of the language classroom through encouraging reflection on what it means to both teach and learn a language. There is a strong focus on intercultural issues, which are particularly relevant to language, communication and education, and a grounding in core areas such as linguistics, sociolinguistics and second language learning and teaching. Students gain new ways of thinking and talking about language, language teaching and classroom practice in the increasingly globalised world.
Careers
This course produces well-rounded, intellectually confident and interculturally aware reflective ELT practitioners. Successful completion will enhance your career opportunities enabling you to contribute substantially to the development of your own institution and beyond. Recent graduates have gone on to more senior positions in their own workplaces and elsewhere as senior teachers and advisors on curriculum, methodologies and materials. Progression to PhD studies for appropriate students is also encouraged.
