Introduction
Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages MA
This course has been designed specifically with the aim of providing initial teacher education for those wishing to become teachers of English as a foreign language (EFL) or English as a 2nd language (ESL); the program allows teachers to develop and reflect upon their understanding of the various theoretical and practical issues that impact upon the field of language teaching; it places particular emphasis on the notion of informed and critical teaching and the need for teachers to mediate between theory and practice in constructing pedagogies according to specific teaching-learning contexts; a balance is maintained throughout the course between linguistic content, pedagogic content, and teaching-related research.
