critically evaluate, synthesis and apply research literature relating to the content of the programme

Teaching/Learning Methods and Strategies

Teaching/learning methods and strategies are based on challenging learning tasks, appropriate reading, and guided personal research. Students experience a variety of pedagogic approaches designed to develop their knowledge and understanding of TESOLand the application of this knowledge to professional practice. Teaching is delivered face-to-face through a series of 2-hour sessions. Teaching methods include lectures, workshops, the use of group work, task-based teaching, and where appropriate computer-lab based teaching. Active learning is encouraged and support for students is provided through email online materials. ICT is variously promoted by staff using Microsoft PowerPoint presentations and Internet-based resources. Independent learning is encouraged and supported and most assignments involve a practical dimension in which students research their professional practice or context.
Undertaking their dissertations, students receive supervisor guidance from their nominated dissertations supervisor. Supervisory support is delivered on a one-to-one basis through face-to-face meetings, emails, and/or computer-mediated-communication and is responsive to the individual needs of the student.
Independent learning is encouraged and supported and dissertation research typically involves students researching their professional or related practice or context

Methods of Assessment

Formative and Summative assessment methods are used. Formative methods include tasks, group work and pair work (where appropriate) and an assignment outline. Students receive formative feedback before submitting for summative assessment.
Summative methods consist of a 3000 word assignment per module. Within the guidance of the assignment rubric, students choose their own topic/area relevant to their particular professional practice or context.
Assignments of 3,000 words for each module and a 15000-20000 word dissertation are assessed against published criteria. The tutor’s assessment is subject to internal moderation and external examining. Blind double marking (for dissertations) and anonymous marking (for assignments) ensure fairness and consistency.
Assignments and dissertations are required, as far as practical, to be situated in the student’s professional practice or context.
