MA Applied Linguistic and TESOL

The Master of Applied Linguistics and TESOL program is intended for individuals with at least three months of full-time teaching experience or who have completed initial ELT, TESOL, or TEFL teacher training. The curriculum focuses on implementing contemporary TESOL theory in classrooms, allowing students to apply their knowledge in a variety of teaching scenarios. Students will apply a global perspective to evaluate their own teaching methods, do research on teaching practices, and investigate lesson preparation and course design. Students can select full-time, part-time, campus-based, or distance learning choices. Graduates will have a stronger understanding of TESOL and the abilities required to flourish as an experienced practitioner.

• A second-class honours degree or equivalent.
• Initial teacher training and a minimum of three months full-time, relevant, teaching experience.
• If you do not have relevant teaching experience, you can still apply for our campus programme, and you will study an additional non-credit bearing module The Classroom Practice of TESOL at no additional cost. 
• English language proficiency at a minimum of IELTS band 6.5 (or equivalent) with no component score below 6.5.

A postgraduate TESOL certification allows you to teach English to speakers of different languages all over the world, which is a talent in great demand given the growing number of individuals learning English as a second language. This qualification provides you with specialised knowledge for employment in universities, language schools, and private institutions in the United Kingdom and abroad. Graduates can work in educational management, teacher training, materials writing, curriculum development, editing, publishing, and advertising, as well as teaching English as a second/foreign language in the UK and other countries. They could potentially become a Director of Studies, Senior Teacher, or Senior Lecturer in English as a Foreign Language.
