Liverpool, University of, MA, Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)

The School of the Arts at University of Liverpool provides world-class teaching and cutting-edge research in deep and creative areas of human meaning. The School of English has an outstanding international reputation for postgraduate teaching and research.

In the latest Research Assessment Exercise two-thirds of school’s research activity was in the highest classes of  “world leading” or “internationally excellent”, with the remainder being classified as “internationally regarded”. More significantly still, 100% of respondents to 2010 Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey agreed that courses 'met or exceeded expectations'. 

Who is this course for?

This is the ideal programme for those who would like to teach English as a foreign language or are already doing so but would like more training.

More particularly, the programme aims:

• To make students aware of theoretical issues in language teaching and learning;
• To develop understanding of current, practical classroom methodology;
• To introduce to the latest approaches to language analysis;
• To help understand the connections between theory and practice.

This is a demanding programme, especially for non-native English speakers, so the university provides excellent guidance and support, through Study Skills sessions and individual coaching.
