MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION (part-time programme)

The English Language Education specialisation focuses on cognitive and social processes of language learning, teaching methodology and learning materials. There is a strong emphasis on literacy and oral communication skills development within the language curriculum.

Participants will be encouraged to build upon their teaching experiences and pursue special areas of interest in an in-depth manner. They will also learn critical inquiry and action-research skills and apply these to relevant language education problems.
