The course enhances your knowledge of English language and literature while at the same time giving you the opportunity to engage with education management themes for the purpose of obtaining better employment or becoming a more effective manager in education settings.

You will practise microteaching and discuss innovative teaching theory and practice.

You will explore the stylistics features of the English language, discuss major English literature themes and authors in relation to sustainability and environmental issues, engage with the theory and practice of teaching English as a foreign language and approach key issues in education management.

The course includes the opportunity to take part in study trips*. In recent years (e.g. 2018-2019) we have for example ran study trips* for MA students to Stratford-upon-Avon to study the impact that Shakespeare’s language has had on modern English.
