Overview
This course is designed to support the professional growth and career development of English Language Teaching professionals. The MA ELT caters for both experienced and inexperienced teachers, who study on different pathways leading to the same degree. The focus is very practical and encourages critical reflection on students' own experience of teaching and learning.
Our lecturers are experts in their field of English Language Teaching, with many having taught English abroad. Teaching methods encourage active participation in group work, discussion and exchange of experiences and ideas. Students are also given the opportunity to undertake practical work, including designing class materials and planning lessons and tests.
We value the differing perspectives of teachers from different countries and their varied experiences of teaching and learning; the broadening of cultural horizons is one of the advantages of joining such an internationally diverse programme.
