Graduate Programmes

MA poster

The ALC offers two graduate courses in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL): the Graduate Diploma in TESOL and the MA in TESOL. For further information, please contact the TESOL administrator here.

"The MA TESOL programme is designed to fit the needs of teachers.  The course combined theory and practical research that allowed students to gain knowledge of the current research and teaching practices in the field and put them into practice.  As a secondary teacher from the US, I really appreciated that all of the assignments and tasks allowed me to pursue areas of interest that were relevant and applicable to my teaching role.  A major takeaway from this course was the emphasis on being a reflective practitioner—through collaboration, reflection, and research, I will continue to learn far beyond this course."  Carolyn - MA TESOL Student 2018/19
