MA in Applied Linguistics and ELT – Maastricht
What Students Did After the Course
An MA in Applied Linguistics and ELT at St Mary's can provide opportunities for advancement in language teaching, management, and research, and we have successful graduates in senior posts throughout the world. Here is a selection of testimonials from former students on how their St Mary's MA has helped them.
Susan, MA Applied Linguistics and ELT 2003
Currently Senior Lecturer in ELT, East Berkshire College
"The course introduced me to varying schools of thought and methodologies, enabling me to improve my own teaching style through reflective analysis. Completion of the course helped me to secure a Senior Lectureship, and I hope to go on to take a PhD. I would recommend this course without reservation to anyone wanting to advance in ESOL or EFL."
David, MA Linguistics in Education, 1995
Dean of Faculty of Languages, Universidade Pedagógica de Maputo
"I have worked at at the Universidade Pedagógica in Maputo ever since graduating from St Mary's, and four years ago I was appointed Dean of Faculty of Languages. My Masters course has been of much value to me in my work. I love what I am doing, though I have to combine teaching with bureacuracy since I became Dean!"
Julian, MA Applied Lingustics and ELT 2000
Currently ESP Business Lecturer at the United Arab Emirates University, Al Ain.
"The MA gave me an excellent in-depth overview of linguistics. We received excellent support from tutors for both the module essays and the final dissertation. The course was run in the beautiful buildings and surroundings of St Mary's, Twickenham and in a relaxed and friendly learning environment. It was great to have the opportunity to exchange ideas, hear new ones and to thrash out old ones with the careful guidance of the module tutor! I took away a great deal from the sessions."
Manuel, MA Linguistics in Education 1990
Head of the Teacher Training Programme, Universidad of Santiago
"I am currently head of the teacher training programme at Santiago University. The experience gained at St Mary's was great, and definitely helped me to understand the finer points in EFL and Teacher Education in general. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend St Mary's to those people considering a career in Teacher Education."
