Studying for a Masters in TESOL or Applied Linguistics provides the definitive go-to text for all students studying an MA in TESOL or Applied Linguistics, as well as closely related degrees such as an MA in English Language Teaching. Written in a clear and user-friendly format and drawing on authentic and highly relevant source materials with the inclusion of practical tasks and answer keys for self-correction throughout, this book demystifies each stage of the MA TESOL/MA Applied Linguistics journey.

Covering practical programme components, such as lesson observation and teaching practice, this book helps the reader to develop the key skills required to successfully complete an MA including:

How to effectively manage your time
How to get the most out of your lectures
How to develop effective reading skills
How to become a better academic writer
How to deal with various types of assessments
How to deliver effective oral presentations

Guiding students step by step through the process of how to choose, research and then write a successful dissertation, the book closes with guidance and tips for students on how to proceed after completing an MA in TESOL/Applied Linguistics. This book is therefore essential reading for those contemplating or undertaking an MA in either of these areas.
