英语语言中心的MA TESOL计划为经验不足的教师或刚开始工作的教师提供了绝佳的机会来发展英语教学事业。该计划是为那些对将英语作为外语进行更广泛的学习感兴趣的人而设计的，它将创新的课堂实践与对语言结构和研究方法等问题的理解相结合。
The English Language Centre's MA TESOL course offers excellent opportunities to develop careers in English language teaching for inexperienced teachers or for those starting out in the field. The course is designed for anyone with an interest in the wider aspects of teaching English as a foreign language, combining innovative classroom practices with an understanding of issues such as language structure and research methodology. ELC MA courses are delivered via lectures, seminars, practical sessions and micro-teaching sessions, giving you a solid grounding in both the theoretical and practical aspects of the field. In many cases, contact hours will be a mixture of these approaches (rather than a session consisting solely of a two-hour lecture). The balance will depend on the particular module, with some more suited to a lecture/seminar approach, others being of a more practical nature. The focus throughout the courses is on independent learning and student engagement, with you being expected to participate in presentations and micro-teaching. The average weekly number of contact hours over the first two terms is 12, with you filling the remaining time with reading, class preparation and assignments.
