布里斯托大学(Bristol University)
MSc Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)
课程设置:
Phase 1 (normally Autumn Term)
This is an intensively-supported learning experience, designed to support those from undergraduate study fields other than TESOL /Applied Linguistics, and those new to the UK cultural context of learning. Support mechanisms include electronic resources (Blackboard) and formative assessment in the development of portfolios.
Assignments will facilitate a focus on the particular elements which are essential for effective graduate learning:
critique of published research studies
focussed literature review
specification of contextual factors which shape language learning and teaching, and data collection and analysis.
Phase 2 (normally Spring Term)
This is a transition phase where the learning experience is increasingly self-directed, and through study in the specialist units, increasingly oriented to individual learning goals. In this phase students will initiate and develop dissertation projects to be completed in Phase 3.
Assignments will be typically negotiated by students, shaped by individual learning plans related to research and professional practice and include a reflective element.
Phase 3 (Dissertation phase)
The learning focus in this phase will be the dissertation. Each student will work in an autonomous and self-directed way with an advisor to complete the dissertation.
l 入学要求:A UK honours degree or equivalent,A minimum of one year relevant professional experience (applications without this cannot be considered)
l 语言要求:An IELTS score of 7.0, with no sub-test scores less than 6, for students where English is not their first language
