Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages

The Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) course at University of Bath is a specialist master's suitable for anyone working - or aspiring to work - in the field of teaching English as an international language.

Throughout the course, you’ll be challenged to think differently about how English is used, taught and learnt worldwide. You’ll analyse its role as the world’s major international language, challenge the assumptions many have about its use, and explore current issues and debates.
