Course info
The MAELT programme aims to connect theory and practice in language teaching, providing up-to-date knowledge of principles and issues in the field, together with consideration of their practical implications. It is designed especially for those working in the field of English as a second/foreign language and has modules in language description, in pedagogy and in specialist-related fields with this audience in mind. The distance based study is the equivalent of the campus-based version in content and assessment. Students may choose to study some modules on campus, some by distance study. There are no compulsory campus based components for the distance programme.
