TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) Plymouth Marjon University

Overview

TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) at Plymouth Marjon University recognises the significance of reflecting on real-world experiences in language learning and teaching as a foundation for theoretical concepts. It fosters a deep understanding of classroom practice through personal reflection and engaging discussions in workshop and interactive seminar formats.

What you'll learn

Participants are encouraged to draw upon examples from their own experiences in both learning and teaching, and are urged to maintain a connection with the classroom throughout the course, bridging the gap between theory and practice.

The MA programme strives to deepen understanding of key concepts in language teaching by exploring relevant academic literature. It helps you to develop a critical mindset towards methods and materials, allowing you to critically evaluate their efficacy. It also provides a platform for reflecting upon and improving your own professional practice, as well as a chance to consider issues in the management of others. The programme also emphasises cross-cultural awareness, alongside developing an understanding of diverse teaching contexts.

We are currently running this programme at two partner locations Exeed College, Dubai and Hanoi Pedagogical University 2, Vietnam. The programme is currently not available for on-campus applications.
