Course Summary
**Indicate point of entry as Year 3 when applying.**
**Course overview**: This one-year top-up TESOL programme develops your knowledge and understanding of English language learning and teaching theory. You also practice teaching English to speakers of other languages. You are exposed to various forms of the English language, specifically focusing on the learning and teaching of language skills and systems.
There are two language modules where you learn about language skills as well as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and functions. The TESOL module concentrates on how speakers of other languages learn and how they should be taught English. You also study a research methods module and a dissertation. You can choose your research project for your dissertation, either a more specialist English language theme, such as language and culture, English language for science and technology, business language, or language and resources for younger learners.
If you meet certain criteria, on graduating you may have the opportunity to apply to study towards the Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA). This is a sought-after professional qualification for teachers of English as a foreign language.
**After the course**: This programme is aimed at anyone who has a strong interest in the English language and in teaching it to speakers of other languages. There are varied work opportunities for graduates, including continuation on the Cambridge CELTA or MA in TESOL, or working abroad in a range of TESOL contexts. The University offers specific guidance and support regarding employment in this field.
