The development of globalisation brings with it increased importance on the ability to be able to speak English. This in turn provides more career opportunities for those who can teach it.
If you are involved in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and keen to build on your existing knowledge and experience, this online course will enable you to reflect on your own teaching practice/context and improve your career prospects.
Our teaching is informed by leading research and expert tutors. Their work informs the topics you will cover which provide flexibility to explore areas and specialisms of interest to you.
The course is designed to develop your critical understanding of recent developments in TESOL theory and practice. It will prepare you to conduct independent research into teaching and learning. It provides a pathway to doctoral study.
2:2 level (or international equivalent). Applicants without a first degree but with an approved, relevant professional qualification and/or substantial teaching experience will be considered on an individual basis.
Minimum of nine months’ full-time classroom English language teaching experience (650 hours of part-time experience).
