Course summary

On this course, you'll gain detailed knowledge of the theories, approaches and methods of language teaching. We'll also give you an up-to-date overview of current approaches, methods, trends and issues in language teaching, so you'll know the latest developments in the field. We will also give you a thorough grounding in the theory and practice of second language acquisition. You can then specialise, according to your interests.
