TESOL Teacher Education

Advertisement

The MA TESOL Teacher Education is a one year full-time, or two years part-time, programme for professionals involved in TESOL teacher education. This can include experienced teachers, teacher-trainers, mentors, supervisors or other people in charge of staff development.

This specialised MA provides those who teach teachers, or expect to do so in the near future, with access to an appropriate knowledge-base for this role, taking reference from growing literature on teacher knowledge and learning, and the pedagogies that support that learning.

Our programme will give you a deeper understanding of what TESOL teachers need to learn, and will consider ways of understanding their learning process. It will also introduce models of programmes and methodologies, and discuss factors that will need consideration at the design and planning stages, if such programmes are to support teacher learning.

Year 1Compulsory modules

Critical Study allows you to design and undertake a small-scale research project related to your own interests in the field of education.

The Practice of Supporting Language Teacher Learning focuses specifically on teacher education strategies that can support teachers' learning, and analyses the ways of designing and implementing sessions, courses or programmes for teachers.

Learning and Teaching in TESOL examines the approaches and principles that TESOL teachers can use to teach the skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking.

Investigating Language for TESOL provides you with the skills to describe language in terms of sounds, words, grammar and discourse, and considers how you can analyse learners' language to understand their language development.

Teacher Education for TESOL considers the differences and relationships between ESOL teaching and teacher education for ESOL, and examines the processes and goals of teacher education.
