  MEd English Language Teaching
  It is a 36 Credit-hour Program of one year.
   
 

Masters of Education in English Language Teaching (MEd ELT) is one year program for graduates with BEd degrees. With the increasing importance of English in national and international networks such as education, media, and industry, we need quality English language teachers who are well versed with the state-of-the art techniques in language teaching. Our traditional approach and practices of English language teaching are not much helpful to this effect.

Since English language teachers are in great demand, one year MEd ELT program attracts a significant number of students holding BEd and higher degrees. With their back ground of Education, they won't undertake education related courses, which presently are integral part of the existing MA ELT program; rather they would take up only the language related courses. MEd ELT is therefore a cost-effective program for them, both in terms of time and money.
