Course Overview

It also raises your awareness of the varied roles English has across the globe and the current debates around varied ELT approaches, methodologies and assessment strategies when applied to a range of ELT contexts, whilst also developing your academic and teaching skills. Furthermore, the final dissertation project allows you to specialise in an area of TESOL of particular interest and importance to you as well as further develop your research and analytical skills. Teaching is delivered predominantly via seminars which include a mix of tutor-led input and student-to-student activities, which not only focus on the presentation and discussion of theories and models but also actually expose you to a range of ELT teaching approaches and methodologies first-hand. You will then be encouraged to reflect on these and, perhaps even use yourself when you are an ELT professional in the UK or overseas.
