Based at our beautiful Newton Park campus, this TESOL (Teaching English to Students of Other Languages) course is for those who wish to teach English as a second or foreign language. We aim to develop confident and well-informed language teaching practitioners who are capable of designing and teaching comprehensive language programmes. You'll extend your knowledge base by engaging in independent research into your own practice and setting.
We recognise the value of professional, cultural and life experiences, which you'll develop and explore during the programme. This will enhance your professional knowledge and understanding through reflection, aided by theoretical input and practical application.
Context specific professional development is an important element in the MA TESOL. We prepare you to return to your previous work context, or even move to a new one, with an adaptable knowledge base for that particular setting.
Students will typically have a good undergraduate degree in an appropriate specialism from a recognised higher education institution. Teaching experience is welcome but not essential.
Students wishing to take the Independent Study module in the first trimester must supply evidence of teaching experience in the form of a letter from an employer. International students whose first language is not English are required to have a minimum language level of IELTS 6.5 (with a minimum of 6 in each component) or equivalent.
In the UK, a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is required to work with children and vulnerable adults. All course participants will need to complete the necessary paperwork before starting their placement for the programme. There is an additional fee required for this process.
