Master of TESOL specialisation in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages - Taught 180

Skip to Main Content

Teaching English to speakers of other languages is a fast-growing discipline. It opens up many career options and opportunities. We offer a variety of courses as part of the TESOL major, which helps you develop a good understanding of English/second language learning and teaching from various perspectives. You can learn how to analyse language, how people (adults and young learners) learn languages, and how to teach languages effectively. You can also gain skills to plan, teach and assess interactive lessons, materials and tasks for both adult and young learners. Later stages involve studying how to develop a curriculum, how to incorporate tasks in language teaching and the use of technology.
