This course prepares you for exciting opportunities abroad or in the UK. You can apply for a placement at one of our partner institutions in France, Germany, Switzerland, or Japan. We also run a tailored workshop series designed to prepare you for your career in TESOL.

Guest speakers deliver workshops and seminars to Stirling students, giving you unique networking opportunities as you study. Visiting experts from universities in the UK and USA have covered topics ranging from social justice (Dr Deniz Ortactepe Hart) to digital games in TESOL (Professor Jonathon S Reinhardt).

We use a range of assessment methods designed as formative and summative assessments. These assessment methods include written assignments, annotated bibliography, coursework, portfolio, poster, presentation (oral) and artefact (e.g., poster/PowerPoint/report), reflective essay or journal, research proposal, and teaching plan.  
Assessment criteria follow the common marking scheme of the University. They are provided on our virtual learning environment, and the assessment process is carefully explained. Where criteria vary for a particular module, this will also be explained.
