TESOL with Japanese MA

York St John University

This MA allows you to study Japanese from beginner level. By the end of the course you will be able to communicate effectively in Japanese, both orally and in writing, on topics familiar to you. You'll be able to quickly adapt to teaching English in Japan with the skills you will learn on this course.Our approach to teaching TESOL focuses on teaching English in a multilingual world. You will explore and critique theories of English language learning and apply these to your teaching. You will have the opportunity to gain practical experience in lesson planning and delivery.

You can also gain practical TESOL experience through our community programmes:

• YEAL (York: English as an Additional Language) is a student led voluntary outreach programme. You will be placed in a local school and work with EAL pupils to improve their English language skills.
• The Community Language School offers you the chance to help children aged 6-13 years develop their confidence and skills in using languages other than English.
