TESOL MA

at York St John University

You might have finished your undergraduate studies and want to boost your career. Or you may have non-TESOL related teaching experience and want to broaden your expertise. The course will allow you to pursue new career avenues and opportunities. In only 18 months you will have the skills and experience you need to teach English across the world.
 

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:

• YESOL (York: English speakers of Other Languages) consists of evening classes for the local community, held by our students. 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 to 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 Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). 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.
