Lorna Whiston Schools has begun recruitment for its fifth cohort of students for the prestigious MA in TEYL programme, conducted in partnership with the University of York, UK.

Having offered this highly regarded distance learning programme in Singapore for four years now, our next intake will commence their studies in November 2008.

 

THE UNIVERSITY of York

M.A. IN TEACHING ENGLISH TO YOUNG LEARNERS (BY DISTANCE)

The EFL Unit of the Department of Educational Studies, University of York, was the first unit to run this highly specialised MA in TEYL in Britain.
