The English Language Teaching (ELT) MA degree provides professional development for teachers working in a variety of educational settings.
While balancing theory and practice you will develop skills in language description and analysis, and learn how to tailor teaching methods and learning materials to suit institutional requirements, local circumstances, and learners’ wants and needs.
* You will have access to some of the most recent and relevant English language research
* Observe English language classes and undertake teaching practice
* In the final stages of the course you may have the opportunity to complete a (salaried) ten-month overseas teaching placement
* You will be taught by a team consisting of international experts on corpus linguistics, computer assisted language learning, Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), discourse and varieties of English (including business English) and second language acquisition
* The final stage can be completed off campus, and participants may elect to submit a reflective portfolio of their own professional practice instead of a dissertation
* The flexibility of the course enables applicants with recognised ELT qualifications to qualify for some accreditation of prior learning (APL)
The course can enhance your career prospects in teaching and management posts in schools and colleges, as well as government/civil service posts in relation to staff support and development, curriculum and materials design.
