English for Specific Purposes: Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages

Course details

English for Specific Purposes: Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESP:TESOL) is offered at two levels and is designed for students who are considering becoming a teacher of English as a second language (ESL) or who are already ESL teachers in their own country.

ESP:TESOL focuses on developing English language skills through topics of general interest and TESOL-related content. ESP:TESOL also prepares students for selected modules of the Cambridge ESOL Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT). The TKT is not a teaching qualification but an assessment tool that aims to:
- increase the confidence of students considering becoming English language teachers as well as those already working in the TESOL field
- enhance future job and training prospects.

ESP:TESOL enables students to:
- improve their English communication skills
- develop their knowledge and understanding of current English language teaching methods
- learn practical activities which can be used for teaching English
- develop English language and classroom management skills through practice teaching sessions
- become familiar with and have practice for the TKT.
