Course Summary

Boost your classroom experience and future employability with our MA in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).

Ideal for both newcomers and experienced educators, you’ll dive into English and how to teach it effectively, including using technology in the classroom. Through our hands-on approach, you'll observe and practice teaching in real classrooms, preparing you for the modern teaching landscape.

Plus, you'll have the chance to boost your employability with the Trinity Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages alongside your Masters.

About this course

This TESOL course offers a deep dive into teaching English to non-native speakers, combining theory and practice across three trimesters.

The course starts with foundational concepts, then on to practical teaching skills, and ends with an extended research project or dissertation – you choose. You’ll be assessed through a series of assignments, evaluations, and your final project/dissertation.

To ensure that you understand the cornerstones of TESOL, the course teaches you about teacher language awareness, language learning theory, and language teaching methodology, covering grammar, phonology, vocabulary, and discourse.

You'll also investigate language learning models from psychology, linguistics, and education, and explore historical and contemporary teaching approaches within TESOL. You'll creatively apply these TESOL principles to your own future classroom scenarios, developing lesson plans, conducting lessons, and reflecting on your teaching methods.

Plus, support from tutors, a dedicated dissertation supervisor, and access to workshops and online resources will provide you with essential transferable skills for your future career or further studies.

We offer modules in both the daytime and evenings, so you can find a pattern of delivery that fits with your other commitments, whether you are working, volunteering or studying full time.
