Course overview

The programme is primarily designed for those interested in TESOL as an academic field and has the following main objectives:

  • To offer students a solid foundation and deepen their knowledge in the main areas of TESOL, from both a theoretical and a practical point of view.
  • To acquaint students with new areas in the field (such as computer-assisted language learning, alternative assessment, English as a lingua franca).
  • To engage students in research in the field of TESOL and consequently encourage them to further their studies.

The programme is divided into two components: The taught component covers the main areas of TESOL and familiarises students with research methodology; the thesis component gives students the opportunity to undertake research in a specialised area of interest.
