Course Overview

The Applied Linguistics with TESOL programme from University of Birmingham aim to equip students with the linguistic and pedagogic knowledge, the research and analytic skills, and the confidence necessary to develop their careers in English language teaching, and/or to move into areas such as teacher-training or ELT management.
