Postgraduate MSc Full-time 1 Year Teaching

About this course

These courses provide the opportunity to integrate the theory and practice of teaching English to speakers of other languages. They are designed to be useful to both experienced teachers and those considering a career in English language teaching.

Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) programmes are run by the International Education Institute.

Highlights

  • Integrate theory and practice – discuss theoretical concepts and frameworks in small groups and in online written forums and apply these through practical assessments.

  • Interact with a global cohort of students, studying both in St Andrews and by distance learning around the world, through module learning activities.

  • Access an optional and supplementary resource bank of material in parallel with your PGT programme to support both your learning and the development of your professional identity.

  • Join experienced practitioners and scholars in the English language teaching community, with opportunities to be involved in ongoing professional development events and the annual English for Academic Purposes (EAP) conference.

    In each module, you interact online in a weekly written discussion forum (or similar activity) with TESOL students in St Andrews and around the world, providing the opportunity to learn from peers living and working in a wide variety of contexts.

    While the programme does not include a teaching placement or practicum, it supports students in exploring how theory can be applied to real-word situations, through:

  • practical learning and assessment tasks

  • materials development activities.
