About the course

Develop your knowledge of approaches to English language teaching to facilitate better teaching practice. This course is designed for home or overseas students who wish to pursue a career teaching English as a second or foreign language, but who have little or no formal teaching experience.

　　You'll study applied linguistics, approaches to English teaching and research methods on which later training in practical teaching can build. You'll explore theories of language acquisition and language teaching, with an emphasis on how you can apply such theories in practice.

　　You will take a total of 180 credits, consisting of five core modules, one option module, and a dissertation.

　　This course does not include a teaching placement.

　　This course will provide you with the tools and resources you need to evaluate current issues and key trends in language learning and teaching in a range of contexts, and consider their application in classroom instruction, assessment, materials development and the English language curriculum. You'll also learn how to conduct your own research. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
