MA in English Language Teaching


General information

The Master of Arts Program in English Language Teaching (ELT) is a two-year weekend graduate programme especially designed for both international and Thai teachers of English who seek to advance their analytical, theoretical, and professional abilities. 
The two-year curriculum, taught in English by international and Thai instructors, combines a strong theoretical foundation with highly practical courses to equip graduates with the essential knowledge and skills to be effective and proficient practitioners in the classroom.
