Overview

Within this TESOL Studies MA at the University of Leeds you will explore the essential elements in language teaching, studying the processes of learning and teaching language, in addition to the study of language itself. You will also develop the knowledge and skills required to evaluate TESOL theoretical frameworks, materials and procedures in addition to those required for the practical management of the classroom.

Career opportunities:

The majority of our students of TESOL Studies at the University of Leeds are international students, and they tend to return to their home countries to embark on careers in English language teaching in primary, secondary or tertiary education in the private or public sectors.
Many such graduates are now teaching in, for example, university language centres, private language schools, or state secondary schools in the Middle East, China, Japan, Korea or Cyprus.

Each year we do have some UK students, some of whom remain in the UK teaching ESOL, while others go abroad.

The methodological skills and theoretical knowledge they develop have allowed some to move into teaching other languages, such as Chinese.
