Why study this course with us?

This course offers new graduates or teachers with some experience the opportunity to gain the skills to move into, or develop within, the English Language Teaching world.

For new graduates, our MA provides the opportunity to mix the practical with the theoretical, so you can enter the world of work not only with a CELTA, the world-leading initial teaching qualification, but with knowledge of theory behind the pedagogy. Teachers with experience will develop skills, knowledge and experience to prepare you to move into academic management.

The course also has a pathway for international students, including language development and understanding, and on western methods of learning and teaching.

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.
