English Language Teaching MA
You will take part in teaching practice sessions where appropriate, and examine current research trends and issues. The MA in ELT is aimed at language specialists worldwide, and we, therefore, welcome applications from both native and non-native English speakers and do not always require experience in ELT. The ELT MA includes core modules in ELT Methodology, the Teaching of Receptive and Productive Skills, and Research Methods.
You can also choose two of the following optional specialist modules: English for Specific Purposes and Course Design, Assessing Language, and Psycholinguistics. The program is relevant to the practical and theoretical considerations of ELT today. It is designed primarily to develop your future career prospects in ELT and enhance further postgraduate ELT research.
