Course Summary

Course Overview

This Master’s course is carefully designed to meet your needs as a current or future English language practitioner. You'll acquire in-depth expertise and graduate ready to contribute to the teaching of English worldwide.

You’ll develop advanced teaching and learning skills and cultivate a breadth of knowledge about teaching English to speakers of other languages. You’ll also benefit from the depth of study that comes with this unique Master’s-level programme.
You’ll study with top academics, who are active researchers and educators in TESOL, language education, applied linguistics and education. These highly experienced professionals have worked in a range of different countries and will share their research expertise with you.

You’ll develop knowledge about language learning theories and principles and how to embed good practice in teaching and learning. You’ll also consider innovation and change in language teaching, including the use of digital technologies, and analysis of the English language.

During your MA TESOL, you’ll develop critical awareness of both current practice and research in English language teaching in the UK and internationally. You’ll also become an expert in matters of professional responsibility, integrity and ethics – essential for your later career. At the same time, you’ll build your academic and linguistic skills, and effective spoken and written communication skills.

One key feature of your time as an MA TESOL student at UEA is the ability to customise the curriculum to your own needs. For example, you’ll complete a dissertation, focusing on a research topic of your choice and add to your breadth of knowledge by choosing an optional module to suit your needs and interests.
