Participating in the learning activities and accessing the academic support services available to University of Leicester students will also help you develop your fluency and accuracy in speaking, listening, reading and writing.

Teaching and learning

Your teaching will consist of lectures, seminars and workshops, with tutorial support. You will be assessed through written assignments and some tests, presentations and project work, depending on the particular module. You will be encouraged to develop your transferable skills, including IT and communication skills.

Careers and employability

The MA in TESOL provides you with a thorough grounding in key theoretical and practical issues relevant to the needs of professionals in an increasingly global and competitive field. Many of our graduates have secured initial teaching positions or taken on additional roles in existing positions in a wide range of teaching contexts.
