Location of University of Leicester
The MA TESOL is designed to provide a thorough grounding in both theory and practice of language teaching to those students with little previous experience of teaching English.
Teaching and assessment methods
On campus teaching is seminar-based, with tutorial support. Assessment is through written assignments and some tests, presentations and project work, depending on the module. Students are encouraged to develop their transferable skills, including IT and oral presentation.
