This Master’s is designed for both native speakers and non-native speakers with a high level of English. You explore the relationship between linguistics and second-language learning; the methodology and techniques of language teaching; and current issues in English language teaching. The course provides practical classroom experience with observed and assessed teaching practice. On successful completion, you gain TEFL Q status, signifying you are fully qualified in British Council terms. We have designed this course to follow British Council regulations, enabling you to gain a TEFL Q status when you graduate. TEFL Q status indicates you are a fully qualified TESOL/TEFL teacher. We work in partnership with local councils, schools and colleges to support refugees and asylum seekers with free English classes; our students also support parents of school children with free ESOL classes.
