In Response To: Department of Linguistics and English Language (Masters, School News/Adverts) (Lancaster University MA TESOL Distance program)

I've taken a look at this program and I have to say that I'm very disappointed with the curriculum.

It seems to be nothing more than an MA TESOL in name only. It provides little more in content than a few undergraduate intro to linguistics courses and has only a single course on English grammar.

This program does not at all seem like a good value for the money. The program of study they propose is barely anything more than would be found in a basic 4-week CELTA certificate program. I must say that I am quite disappointed that a well-respected university would attach their name to a program so lacking in focus and content.
