English Language Teaching - MA
Your Course
About the English Language Teaching Postgraduate course
We provide academic and professional development for English language practitioners looking to advance their careers in teaching.
You will gain practical classroom experience and you will develop creative multimedia resources and teaching materials through hands-on activities. There will be the opportunity to pursue a specialism, such as English as a Second or Other Language (ESOL), English for Academic Purposes (EAP), teaching English to Young Learners (YLs) or teacher training and English language teaching management.
We currently offer two routes of study:
Route One (Delta route)
This route is designed for experienced English language teachers or those who have a high level of English. It will offer professional training and development (including teaching practice), with the option to enter for the widely recognised Cambridge Delta qualification.
On campus The course starts in September and takes a calendar year to complete full-time, starting with MA modules that also prepare you for the Delta qualification. Alternatively, if you have already gained your Delta qualification (or equivalent), you can study with us on campus full-time from January until September. Part-time options are also available.
Distance learning If you have the Delta qualification (or equivalent), you can study with us via distance learning from September, January or May, with an expected completion time of approximately 18 months.
Route two
This route is designed for the less experienced English language teacher or those with an interest in English language teaching who want to gain a prestigious academic qualification in order to further their career. You will gain insights into best practice through lesson observation and you will be able to reflect on this to develop your awareness.
On campus You can study this route on campus from September, and you can expect to complete the course in approximately one calendar year.
Distance learning You can study this route via distance learning from September, January or May with an expected completion time of approximately two and a half years.
Teaching and Learning
Learning will take place through seminars, small group and individual tutorials, as well as independent learning. The course will include practical classroom experience and hands-on development of multi-media resources for English language teaching.
Assessment
The assessments on the course aim to reflect real-life tasks for English language teaching professionals and include practical assignments such as developing resources, writing journal articles, giving conference presentations, reflecting on practice and analysing texts or language. The dissertation module involves a practical or research project related to English language teaching with a report or rationale. Route 1/Delta students will also complete the Cambridge ESOL assessments for Delta modules 1-3.
Research Excellence Framework 2014
Research Excellence Framework 2014: twice as many of our staff - 220 - were entered into the research assessment for 2014 compared to the number entered in 2008.
