Study TESOL Masters Programmes

Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is an academic field that focuses on the pedagogy and methodologies of teaching English as a second or foreign language to non-native speakers. It equips educators with the necessary skills to help learners develop their English language proficiency in various cultural and linguistic contexts.

Studying TESOL allows individuals to make a significant impact on the lives of English language learners by helping them gain proficiency and confidence in using English for academic, professional, and social purposes. As English continues to be a global lingua franca, there is a growing demand for qualified TESOL professionals worldwide. This degree offers a rewarding career path for those passionate about language education and intercultural communication.

Graduates of a master's degree in TESOL will have advanced expertise in language teaching theories, curriculum design, and research methodologies. This degree is suitable for those aspiring to become TESOL program directors, language education researchers, or pursue doctoral studies in language education.

Your master's degree program will emphasise research and practical teaching experiences, enabling you to design and implement effective language programs. Modules you study could include:

  • Language Program Evaluation
  • Technology in Language Teaching
  • Cross-Cultural Communication
  • Language Policy and Planning
  • Research in TESOL
