Course summary

This Master's programme is the only one in London with an exclusive focus on 'teaching' encompassing the areas of TESOL and TEFL - as opposed to applied linguistics and is aimed at practising teachers as a form of continuing professional development.Please note that the course is not a teaching qualification but an academic award which not only enhances job opportunities but also enables graduates to pursue further studies at a doctoral level. However, if you do not have enough classroom experience and want to become a qualified teacher of English as you study the MA, we offer a module (Teaching Practicum) leading to CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults). At UEL, the certificate can be obtained in only 12 weeks.Upon completion, our graduates normally apart from following a PhD route, also become teacher trainers, consultants and advisors in the areas of English language teaching and education, publishers, and school managers, among other high-stake posts.The course consists of four modules and a dissertation, which includes research methods training.You will look at the theoretical, conceptual side of language systems within the field of applied linguistics. You will explore how we can draw on these theories to devise a curriculum and learning materials.Because English is a world language, both power and ideology are intertwined with its teaching. The course offers a chance to examine the politics or the social dimensions of teaching English as a foreign and as a second language.This rewarding master's course can be studied on a one-year full-time basis or part-time for between two and six years. This means it can fall in with your life or teaching commitments.The course has a strong focus on classroom practice and emphasises discussion and student contribution throughout.This master's course is one of the ways you can become qualified to teach English to speakers of other languages, either in the UK or abroad, but it also offers much more. On the teaching side, you may decide to enter the burgeoning world of English language teaching schools. There are a huge number of these in London.You may want to teach English in other parts of the world. A master's qualification will increase the opportunities to pursue such a career.
