COURSE CURRICULUM

The TESOL program equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in teaching English to speakers of other languages. Core modules focus on understanding the relationship between language and learning, exploring effective language teaching methods, and completing a dissertation that demonstrates the ability to conduct independent research in the field. Through these modules, students gain a strong theoretical foundation in language acquisition, pedagogy, and classroom practice. Optional modules allow learners to tailor the course to their professional interests, offering opportunities to study areas such as analysing spoken and written discourse, intercultural communication, language in society, and languages for specific purposes. Additionally, modules on materials development and testing and assessment provide practical skills for designing instructional resources and evaluating learner progress. The combination of theoretical study and applied practice ensures that students can critically reflect on teaching strategies, adapt to diverse classroom contexts, and implement evidence-based approaches to language education. Graduates leave the program prepared to teach effectively across a range of educational settings, from schools and universities to language centres and online platforms, with the professional expertise and confidence required to make a meaningful impact in the field of TESOL.
