Overview

Course overview

The aim of the Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) program at The University of Wales Trinity Saint David is to train self-reflective language teaching professionals with a solid foundation in research skills, applied linguistics, second language acquisition and language teaching pedagogy. The programme’s emphasis on applied research skills offers successful graduates progression opportunities into further research at doctoral level.
