Presentation
The University of Alcalá, in collaboration with the British Council, is offering a one-year official Master in Teaching English as a Foreign Language specially designed for teachers and graduates who wish to complete or complement their knowledge and skills of teaching English, as well as develop new resources they can later apply to specific contexts and levels.
This Master’s degree is mainly aimed at working teachers, especially those teaching English as a foreign language. In addition, the course offers the teacher professional development and specialisation much sought after in bilingual and other secondary schools.
There is a choice of three different tracks:
- Teaching English through Literature, addressed to in-service teachers of English who wish to update their knowledge and develop new materials.
- Teaching through English in Bilingual Schools, especially aimed at teachers involved in bilingual education.
- Developing English Teaching Skills, for those graduates interested in developing their career in teaching English as a foreign language.
The Master’s programme is part of the official Postgraduate Programme in English Studies organised by the Department of Modern Philology at the University of Alcalá.
1234 Divi St. #1000 San Francisco, CA 94220.
