Overview

Develop your English teaching - and build specialist knowledge to progress your career.

This course will take your English language teaching to the next level. You’ll master the pedagogical theory behind key teaching approaches. You’ll explore methodologies and master different techniques. You’ll examine:

what motivates learners
how we learn differently
language-learning as a discipline

You might scrutinise the differences between didactic and communicative teaching approaches. Or you might examine how language changes in different contexts.

You’ll build an expansive teaching toolkit. And you’ll be able to identify the right teaching methods - for any learner, in every situation. You’ll also be able to articulate the theory behind your approaches - to school leaders and parents. And your classes will become more creative and motivating - making a real difference to your students.

You’ll graduate with a recognised qualification that will help you meaningfully progress your career.

Career prospects

You’ll graduate with a recognised qualification that will set you apart from other candidates - and attest to your talents as a professional educator.

You’ll be confident in any classroom. You’ll be equipped with teaching strategies to support any language learner. And you’ll be ready to step into a more senior position, or progress your career.

You might move into a management position at a private language school. You might progress to a Head of English role in an international school. You might start teaching English at university-level. Or, if you’re looking to return to the UK, you’ll be well-placed to secure a professional teaching role back home.

Entry requirements

Applicants must demonstrate that they have a first degree at 2.2 level or above. TESOL pathway students are required to show evidence of teaching experience of two years in any context, including summer language schools, one-to-one teaching, or teaching assistant roles. Teaching practice acquired through CELTA or DELTA qualifications can count towards this. In some cases, a shorter period of teaching experience can be negotiated where there has been significant TESOL content study.
