TESOL MA的应用语言学（1年）

对于具有2年以上英语教学经验的个人，本课程对语言教学背后的关键概念和理论进行了全面的评论。您将在全球，文化，政治和教育背景下对TESOL和应用语言学持批判性的专业观点。语言嵌入人类生活的社会，文化，个人和人际交往过程中，其复杂的形式和模式不断发展，以帮助我们更有效地沟通。因此，将鼓励您将语言视为不仅仅是一组规则。相反，您将认识到语言使用是一个复杂的过程，会产生个人，社会和教育后果，并且您将获得必要的知识和技能，以对您自己的语言教学实践进行严格的反思。
This course is appropriate for students at the start of their careers as English Language teachers and also for students who have more than 2 years of English language teaching experience. A dedicated pathway is offered for each group. Whichever pathway you follow, you will take a critical professional perspective towards TESOL and Applied Linguistics in a global, cultural, political and educational context. Language is embedded in the social, cultural, personal, and interpersonal processes of human life, with complex forms and patterns that constantly develop to help us communicate more effectively. Thus, you will be encouraged to think of language as more than a set of rules. Instead, you will recognise language use as a complex process with personal, social and educational consequences, and you will acquire the knowledge and skills required to reflect critically upon your own language teaching practice.<br><br>The MA has been designed to enhance promotion prospects, fulfilling industry demands for highly qualified graduates with the skills to work across a variety of professions – most notably English Language teachers and teacher trainers, managers, course planners, government advisers, inspectors, material developers and consultants. The course is also ideal for those looking to move into professional research, publishing and editing, and educational management. There is constant demand both in the UK and overseas for Applied Linguistics and TESOL graduates in other language-related professions, such as the media, the helping professions, communication, publishing and editing. Employment prospects for those holding the MA Applied Linguistics for TESOL qualification are excellent and graduates have gone on to good careers as English teachers overseas or in their home countries.
