Description/content E-LINGO is a part-time two-year post-graduate blended-learning Master's programme that leads to a qualification in the teaching of English to young learners. The E-LINGO Master's degree also gives students access to degree courses in teacher education and research at the university level. E- LINGO is a blended learning programme combining online coursework with 5 x 2 days of face-to- face teaching sessions at the University of Education (Freiburg, Southern Germany). A two-week placement in a language classroom also forms part of the programme.
What makes E-LINGO stand out is that it not only qualifies you to teach English to young learners but it also opens up an academic path in the field as the programme allows you to develop research skills as well as gaining practical experience.
