TESOL with Thai MA

at York St John University

This MA course allows you to study Thai from beginner level. By the end of the course, you will be able to communicate effectively in Thai, both orally and in writing. You'll be able to quickly adapt to teaching English in Thailand with the skills you will learn on this course.
 

Our approach to teaching TESOL focuses on teaching English in a multilingual world. You will explore and critique theories of English language learning and apply these to your teaching. You will have the opportunity to gain practical experience in lesson planning and delivery.
 

You can also gain practical TESOL experience through our community programmes:

• On our YESOL (York: English speakers of Other Languages) programme you can hold evening classes for the local community. These aim to help our community improve their English language skills.
• YEAL (York: English as an Additional Language) is a student led voluntary outreach programme. You will be placed in a local school and work with EAL pupils to improve their English language skills.

We offer you the opportunity to take the CELTA course free of charge as part of your degree. CELTA is the Certificate in English Language Teaching to Speakers of Other languages. It is an internationally-recognised teaching qualification awarded by Cambridge Assessment English. You will gain hands-on teaching experience that will prepare you for a career in teaching English. Acceptance onto this course is subject to successful interview.
