Course Overview

Educational employers highly value our degrees, and our MA qualifications will help you raise your profile to advance your career as a language teaching professional. The field of English Language Teaching is increasingly competitive and many organisations see a Master's level qualification as an essential requirement. An MA from the University of Leicester indicates to employers that you have up-to-date knowledge and have developed critical and transferable skills that will equip you to take on a more senior role in the language teaching program of any educational institution. Indeed, many of our past MA students have gone on to gain promotions or move into new demanding jobs upon completion of the program.

Our Career Development Service is here to support you – by email, phone, or skype – with advice on interviews, CVs, work experience, and more. From registration to Graduation and beyond, they are here to help you reach your professional goals. In addition, the MA in Applied Linguistics and TESOL provides professional development and training, including:

  • A critical understanding of key issues and debates in many Applied Linguistics areas and how these relate to English Language Teaching.

  • A body of knowledge that will enhance your ability to undertake language teaching at various levels and cultural and institutional contexts.

  • The ability to reflect, analyze and critically evaluate language teaching and learning concepts and theories and to understand and examine the assumptions underlying different classroom practices.

  • The ability to analyze language in use from different perspectives relevant to language teaching and learning.

  • The skills to undertake effective practitioner research in your specific area of interest.
