Course Overview

MA Language Teaching is designed for people who are already experienced foreign or second language teachers who want to develop their career opportunities or those with less experience but a strong interest in pursuing a career in this field. Our MA Language Teaching will develop both your understanding of classroom practice and of key areas of research that inform practice. This is a course on which the importance of bridging the gap between theory and practice is valued and it is structured to reflect the fine balance between the two. Through your acquaintance with current literature and the research you carry out in completing course assignments, you will be able to engage critically and constructively in debates relating to a wide range of aspects of language teaching.

General Eligibility

Usually at least a second-class honors degree (2:2) or above, or overseas equivalent, in a relevant subject and/or relevant professional training and language teaching experience. A short admissions task of no more than 500 words may be requested, to support your application. You must provide two references, at least one of which should be an academic reference. If you have been awarded the Cambridge Diploma in English Language Teaching to Adults (DELTA) in the last five years, you may apply for credit for one option module (please indicate this in your application).
