A. Here the interviewer may just want some reassurance. Their worst fear is that you will disappear mid-contract due to homesickness, loneliness or failure to adapt to the new culture. You can reassure them by mentioning any travelling you have done or languages you speak. Tell them if you have started learning their language as this will demonstrate your commitment. Q. What course books are you familiar with? A. The most popular course book in Europe is Headway. Cutting Edge is also well known but there are several course books and it is possible that the school where you will be teaching uses different ones. Just mention the books you have come across and try to say something about them (i. e. colourful, well-presented, easy to use etc. ) If you have completed a Global English TESOL course, you could refer back to your course review and mention this here. Our website has a bookshop if you want to refresh your memory for titles. Q. Do you think it is always necessary to correct spoken mistakes in the classroom?
Our flexible, student-centered two-year program provides a foundation in research methods and literary theory. Coursework in Literary and Textual Studies (English) offers students an opportunity to engage with a variety of texts across historical periods as well as some of the most recent developments in literary studies and cultural criticism. Our faculty is made up of scholars whose research and teaching interests focus on a range of approaches to textual analysis such as critical race theory, deconstruction, feminism and gender studies, new historicism, postcolonial studies, psychoanalysis, and queer theory. We offer seminars in British, American, and Anglophone literatures. Furthermore, the program presents students with numerous opportunities to develop their own research projects, including the MA Thesis, based on their unique interests. And, when enrolled in the MA in Literary and Textual Studies, students also have the opportunity to pursue a graduate certificate in: • Teaching of English for Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) • International Scientific and Technical Communication (ISTC), offered online • Interdisciplinary certificates in Ethnic Studies, Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, or others Click on the image to visit an information sheet with additional details about the program.
