MA English Language Teaching in London United Kingdom | University of East London

This Master's program stands out as London's sole offering dedicated exclusively to 'teaching,' specifically targeting TESOL and TEFL—rather than applied linguistics. It serves as continuing professional development for active educators.
Note that this course provides an academic credential rather than a teaching qualification, though it boosts career prospects and opens doors to doctoral studies. For those lacking classroom experience but seeking English teaching qualifications alongside their MA, we provide a Teaching Practicum module leading to CELTA certification, achievable in just 12 weeks at UEL.
Graduates typically advance to PhD programs or secure roles as teacher trainers, educational consultants, ELT publishers, school administrators, and other high-responsibility positions.
The curriculum comprises four modules plus a dissertation, incorporating research methods training.
Students examine linguistic theories from applied linguistics, applying these frameworks to curriculum design and material development.
As English functions as a global language, the course critically examines the political and ideological dimensions of teaching it as a foreign/second language.
This enriching MA offers flexible study options—one year full-time or part-time over 2-6 years—to accommodate professional and personal commitments.
With its practical classroom orientation, the program emphasizes collaborative learning through discussions and student participation.
While qualifying graduates to teach English internationally, this degree offers broader opportunities. Graduates may join London's thriving ELT sector or pursue global teaching positions, where a master's degree significantly enhances career potential.
