About Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, MEd - at School of Education, University of Leeds

Designed for TESOL professionals, this programme will deepen your understanding of the foundations of TESOL while advancing your knowledge of specialist areas. If you are not yet a TESOL professional, please see our MA TESOL Studies programme.

Led by academics who are experts in this field of study, you’ll explore how languages are learnt and how the English language is most effectively taught. You’ll consider how to analyse and describe the English language and examine different approaches to teaching the skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking. You’ll also consider the principles behind analysing a learner’s language proficiency and tracking their development.

The MEd in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages follows the same syllabus as the MA Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages programme, but asks you to apply a more practical, rather than theoretical, orientation to your final critical study. You will focus upon a professional issue within language education and apply ideas from your reading and a small-scale research study to find solutions to genuine English Language teaching problems.

As per the MA in TESOL, you can also choose to specialise in particular aspects of TESOL by selecting from a range of optional modules available. For example, you may choose to focus on the use of ICT in TESOL, teacher education in TESOL, or TESOL for young learners, depending on your own interests and career aspirations.
