Career opportunities
The MA Education TEFL programme helps you to become a better English language teacher. The Masters course is designed to be both practical and to give you an introduction to necessary investigation and research tools. We believe that the best teachers are those who can reflect on and investigate practice. There are three core modules (Communicative Language Teaching, Second Language Acquisition and Language Discourse and Society). These MA modules give you a strong grounding in appropriate classroom methodology, course and materials design.
