"This module is one of the two possible core modules in the MA in applied Linguistics for English Language Teaching. Students who wish to attend the Level 5 Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (CELTA) course or Trinity Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (CertTESOL) course will be given the opportunity to critically reflect on their learning in a 10,000 to 12,000 word dissertation. Students may choose this option at their own additional expense, and at an institution of their choice, but the CELTA/CertTESOL must be studied after the end of the second semester modules. Students will not be assessed on the professional qualification but will be assessed on their ability to write and reflect on their own teaching and learning: the teaching practice they have gained in the professional qualification course and the micro-teaching opportunities provided on the MA programme, together with the learning experiences they have gained on the MA programme as learners of another language, both integrated with the theories, concepts and methodologies they have discussed in the subject areas studied in the MA programme."
