MA English Language Teaching & Applied Linguistics
Overview
MA English Language Teaching (ELT) & Applied Linguistics has been designed for experienced language teachers who want to reflect upon and further develop their understanding of the various theoretical and practical issues that impact upon the field of language learning and teaching. The programme is available both full time and part time.
The programme provides opportunities to explore recent research in the field, and find out more about specialist areas such as teacher education, materials development, teaching English for academic purposes, management and evaluation in ELT, and intercultural studies. It places particular emphasis on the notion of informed teaching, and the need for teachers to mediate between theory and practice in constructing pedagogies according to specific teaching-learning contexts.
