The Master of Arts in Teaching English as an Additional Language (MA TEAL) is a 1-year, full-time graduate program for international students preparing to teach English in contexts where English is not the dominant language. It is distinct from the MA in Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies with TESL Specialization. The curriculum covers second language acquisition theory and research, teaching methodologies, English for specific and academic purposes, language testing and assessment, curriculum design, and teaching with technology, along with focus areas such as vocabulary, pragmatics, pronunciation, and literacy instruction. The degree is completed through Coursework or Project pathways with a pedagogy-focused capstone project. Based in Ottawa, students have access to a bilingual, multicultural environment and connections to government, education, health-care, embassy, and non-governmental organizations for teaching and research opportunities. Admission is in the Fall term.
