TESOL

The engagement of the staff on the TESOL with Japanese MA course was incredibly encouraging. Seminars and lectures seemed to never go without a small discussion and it is where we could really appreciate the staff’s passions for what they do, as well as an opportunity to see what students enjoyed too. Additionally, the staff on the course have been extremely supportive, offering their time whenever possible to help with assignments as well as organising extracurricular activities. York St John has prepared me for the future by offering such a wide variety of opportunities that can enhance not only my CV, but also my confidence in becoming a languages teacher.

The best things about the course were that it provided an amazing theoretical foundation to become a great TESOL practitioner, the chance to study a new language ab initio, the opportunity to do a CELTA, practical teaching experience like volunteering with the local refugee community and the chance to take an active role in organizing an international conference on applied linguistics. It prepared me extremely well for the job market as I have not struggled at all to find a job because employers are very impressed that I have all of this diverse experience that I gained at YSJ, because they provide all of these opportunities to develop all of the skills needed to work in the field. Moreover, the staff are amazing, there is a really great team of academics at York St John who always support me even after graduation and they have helped me so much I am extremely grateful.
