Master of Arts - English and Education Management

Coventry University (Part of Coventry University Group)

Program Description

This MA Course offers students advanced academic study of English literature and language as well as giving them the knowledge-base necessary to become effective managers in a variety of education settings (e.g. Higher, Further, Schools – state and private).

The course aims to enhance students' knowledge of English language and literature while at the same time giving them the opportunity to engage with education management themes with the purpose of either obtaining better employment or becoming a more effective manager in education settings.

Students will practise microteaching for either language or literature and discuss innovative teaching theory and practice. They will explore the stylistic features of the English language, discuss major English literature themes and authors in relation to sustainability and environmental issues, engage with the theory and practice of English teaching (both language and literature) and approach key issues in education management.

Students will also have the opportunity to gain a recognised professional teaching qualification: the Teaching Knowledge Test accredited by Cambridge Assessment English, as part of module Professional Enhancement: Managing the Teaching and Learning Process.
