The MA English Language Teaching (ELT) is a post experience programme which provides English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher from the UK and overseas with the opportunity to reflect on their professional experience, develops a deeper understanding of the theory and practice of English language teaching and gain the skills and competences required for leadership roles in ELT. This MA degree provided by the University of Southampton can give you the tools needed to teach English effectively, through current issues in language teaching methodology to the critical appraisal of language teaching. You will write some extended essays, but most modules will be assessed through a module portfolio containing a range of evidence demonstrating achievement of the module learning outcomes. This may take the form of: shorter essays; annotated bibliography; critical research review; reports on design/ trialing of research instruments; reports on workshop tasks; records of oral presentations; data analysis tasks. The 15,000 word dissertation is a core element in establishing the acquisition of appropriate skills and the application of research techniques. Your supervisor will be available to provide regular and supportive advice, guidance and feedback on your progress.
