This TESOL course offers a deep dive into teaching English to non-native speakers, combining theory and practice across three trimesters.
The course starts with foundational concepts, then
on to practical teaching skills, and ends with an extended research project or
dissertation – you choose. You’ll be assessed through a series of assignments,
evaluations, and your final project/dissertation.
To ensure that you understand the cornerstones of TESOL, the course teaches you
about teacher language awareness, language learning theory, and language
teaching methodology, covering grammar, phonology, vocabulary, and discourse.
You'll also investigate language learning models from psychology, linguistics,
and education, and explore historical and contemporary teaching approaches
within TESOL. You'll creatively apply these TESOL principles to your own future
classroom scenarios, developing lesson plans, conducting lessons, and
reflecting on your teaching methods.
Plus, support from tutors, a dedicated dissertation supervisor, and access to
workshops and online resources will provide you with essential transferable
skills for your future career or further studies.
