MEd TESOL in Mixed Mode
Mixed Mode can be:
a) Unstructured
b) Structured
If you choose the unstructured mode, you decide which modules
you do contact and whch ones you do by distance learning. Very few
students take this option. A full description of the 'structured' mode can be seen below.

Mixed Mode (Structured) Content |
The
content of the MEd TESOL in Mixed Mode (Structured) is identical
to MEd TESOL in full-time Contact Mode. The credits for each course
are the same, and the knowledge and understanding is also the same.
The Certificate is three courses; the Diploma adds a further three
courses; and finally there is the dissertation. Information about
the content of each course can be found
on the full-time contact
mode page.
Successful completion of three courses permits the award of the
'Postgraduate Certificate in TESOL', for those who wish to exit at
this point. The PG Certificate carries credits towards the MEd TESOL.
Successful completion of the core courses, and two option courses,
leads to the award of the 'Postgraduate Diploma in TESOL' for those
who wish to exit at this point. The PG Diploma carries credits towards
the MEd TESOL. |

Programme structure |
The structure
is different from the MEd TESOL in Contact Mode as you will be
studying some courses in Edinburgh and some courses online. The
availability of courses in each part of the programme will be indicated
on acceptance onto the programme. The MEd TESOL in Mixed Mode (Structured)
structure is this:
Summer One:
2 months’ Contact tuition in Edinburgh of two courses
Sept to Dec (semester 1):
online learning tuition of one course
Jan to Apr (semester 2):
online learning tuition of one course
Summer Two:
2 months’ Contact tuition in Edinburgh of two courses
Sept to June:
6 months’ online learning Dissertation (some students may finish
well before June)
The September to April courses are on-line. Our state-of-the-art
e-learning courses guarantee personalised care and support from the
tutor, and immediate communication with the other participants round
the world. You do tasks, interactive and collaborative activities
with the other participants, supervised by your tutor. You can also
exchange emails with your tutor if you wish. You submit assignments
to your tutor on-line.

| Flexible
programme |
The
MEd TESOL Mixed Mode (Structured) is a part-time programme, and
for that reason it is very flexible. We calculate that it should
take 18 months to complete, (14 months for the Diploma and four
months for the Dissertation), if you do your Dissertation intensively.
You may prefer to take 24 months to complete (14 months for the
diploma and 10 months for the Dissertation).
Application deadline 1st May.
Please note that the programme will run in this mode only if there
are a sufficient number of participants. You may like to consider
enrolling for the online mode of the programme instead of the mixed
mode - more details about the online mode
