Study Details: MA 2 years full-time with work placement
If you’re a teacher of English to speakers of other languages (TESOL, ELT, EFL, EAP), or looking to begin a TESOL career, this two-year MA Applied Linguistics and TESOL (with Professional Experience) degree will enable you to enhance your skills and employability with real workplace experience.
During your first year, you’ll be taught by our linguistics experts at the University, learning to apply the latest TESOL theory to classroom situations and critically evaluate your own approaches to teaching in a global context. You’ll also work on lesson and course planning and design, and learn how to conduct and analyse research into teaching techniques.
If you’ve completed initial ELT, TESOL or TEFL teacher training but you don’t yet have a minimum of three months full-time teaching experience, you’ll also do an extra module to build up your practical teaching skills.
In Year two, you’ll apply your learning on an 8-10 month work placement or professional experience programme tailored to your career goals.
You’ll graduate with the communication and intercultural skills and expertise to work as a more effective and well-rounded TESOL practitioner, in the UK or overseas. You could also go on to roles in areas such as educational management or leadership, curriculum development, editing, publishing or advertising.

English is a global language. It’s taught and learned all around the world – so much so that people who have learned it as a second language now outnumber native English speakers (ThoughtCo).
Those who teach English to speakers of other languages need expert training in the field, both theoretical and in the classroom, in order to provide the highest standards of teaching.
This Master’s course will give you an internationally recognised qualification, a year of professional experience, and the linguistics and teaching theory to gain a competitive advantage and deliver the best possible TESOL training.
