Course summary

This course is suitable for graduates already working or just starting a career in the field of English as a second/foreign language and who wish to develop and deepen specialist knowledge and skills in TESOL and related linguistic areas. We’re in the top 150 universities in the world for English Language and Literature (QS World University Rankings by Subject, 2025). This programme connects theory with practice to build relevant teaching expertise in key TESOL areas, and provides up-to-date, thorough and critical knowledge of the field taught by top researchers and teachers. A standout feature of our programme is the opportunity to enhance your teaching credentials and global employability by gaining a prestigious CELTA qualification. This is offered by a local partner of ours, based in Oxford. If you decide to pursue this opportunity, you will benefit from a promotional rate. This course offers flexibility through a choice of tracks to suit individual needs and experiences using small-group teaching and a wide choice of optional modules are available. The 'Dissertation Track' is suitable for students who already have teaching experience and is especially recommended for those who wish to pursue further study. The 'Portfolio Track' is designed for those with little or no teaching experience. It involves completing a portfolio based on classroom observations and teaching experience gained during the semester 2 in our renowned International Study and Language Institute (ISLI).
