The programme involves attendance at two intensive introductory modules, either online, or face-to-face at a partner learning centre. An intensive module will take place at the beginning of each of the two years of study. Thereafter, the course is based on continuously assessed self-study modules, which the student follows in their own time from anywhere in the world, working to modular deadlines throughout the study year.Students on the Masters (MA) Teaching English to Young Learners course will need to devote approximately 13-18 hours study time each week for each module throughout the course. Access to a classroom for investigation purposes is desirable, particularly in the second year of the course when the student will carry out a small-scale action research project.
