The course is taught across two semesters, followed by an independent research project. You will:
* learn about past and present theory and practice of ELT, such as ELT methodology and socio-cultural factors in teaching English as a foreign language;
* study the principles and practice of second language acquisition;
* learn about curricular approaches to the teaching of English language and literature in the UK, including recent thinking on the teaching, testing and assessment of literacy;
* investigate more general themes in education pedagogy, policy and practice, including topical issues within the UK education system, such as early years education and special educational needs.
Peer support and self-evaluation are vital features of the course, and you will be encouraged to share and critique each other's ideas and draft materials, prior to independent work on a research project and finally, the dissertation.
