This is a taught programme which is designed for practitioners working full-time and is offered on a part-time basis over two academic years.

The structure of the programme ensures that it addresses a broad and balanced range of knowledge, understanding and skills, with an essential element of critical engagement. The programme is designed so that the first year establishes a foundation for more in-depth and critical in-depth work in the second year. Throughout the programme course participants are encouraged to draw on and apply topics to their own teaching and learning contexts.

Students on the course (both classroom teachers and EAL specialist teachers) have commented on the value of the course:

  • Gave a really wide overview of pedagogical issues.
  • Excellent support and supervision.
  • Learning with like-minded adults and exchanging experiences was good.
  • The course has enabled me to make a greater impact, given me more authority, confidence and professionalism.
