Course Summary

Our MA TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) is a highly practical course with firmly imbedded theoretical study, designed to equip you with everything you need for careers in fields such as, teaching English, education management, curriculum development, materials design, or an advisory role in education or research. . From answering questions such as ''who owns English, and what does it mean to teach it, speak it, learn it?'', to teaching live classrooms to non-native students. MA TESOL graduates emerge from the course with a strong theoretical and practical foundation, ready to shape the future of English language teaching and qualified to step into a teaching job or related employment.

Although our course options focus primarily on teaching English to speakers of other languages, you will be equipped with teaching techniques that are widely used in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language), and in teaching younger learners. Alongside this, you will gain a greater understanding of how language systems work, through studying syntax, verbs, tenses, language structures and meanings, and even how apostrophes work.

Modules

Students will carry out an original piece of research, based on the proposal which was submitted as summative assessment for module ML7202 and pursue individual research to produce a dissertation of 15,000 words. Students will be required to demonstrate a critical evaluation of published research literature in the field. The research must show that students are familiar with ethical issues in educational research, the BERA (2019) code of conduct. The scope and length of work reflects the research and dissertation requirements at Level 7.
