MA Education with TESOL

Lincoln Bishop University

Our popular MA in Education with TESOL programme is taught on the beautiful Lincoln Bishop campus by experienced researchers and TEFL professionals. The course is structured to give you the flexibility to engage with areas of language education, education policy, English language teaching, teacher education - and more - that interest you, allowing you to develop the knowledge and skills you require most for your future careers. The programme is taught over two trimesters, with the third trimester seeing you focus on your dissertation project. On the programme you will: grow your knowledge of education and language learning theory and policy; discuss the latest developments and debates on topics ranging from World Englishes to TESOL methodologies; develop your language awareness and descriptive language skills; get hands on experience of teaching and observing language lessons in person and online; learn the theories that underlie language teaching methodologies, syllabi, and materials for language teaching - and get to use and create them yourselves; hear from guest lecturers, student researchers, and industry professionals; discover a range of research approaches and devise and conduct a research project (dissertation) of your choosing. Our students have progressed to careers as diverse as teaching English in FE, as EAL specialists in schools, university lecturers, TEFL teachers, and teaching materials creators among others. They work in schools and colleges in the UK, in international schools, in local government - and they also continue their research with PhD study in Australia, USA, China, and here at Lincoln Bishop Lincoln.
