Master's Degrees

LCC International University is pleased to offer a Master of Arts (M.A.) degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). This program builds on the university’s historic strength in English language studies and offers a graduate-level program for those interested in pedagogical excellence.

Master’s programs in TESOL are common in many parts of the world, but are new to Lithuania. This international program follows three key principles: theoretical linguistic knowledge, applied scientific research, and the practical use of both theory and research. The core of this program consists of sociolinguistics and linguistics, which are combined with management and language teaching pedagogy.

The M.A. in TESOL program at LCC International University is geared toward a wide audience. It is designed for those who are willing to deepen their knowledge of applied linguistics as well as those who want a thorough knowledge of foreign language teaching methods and their practical application in international contexts. In particular, the program is designed for:

• High school teachers willing to enrich their professional and methodological competence;
• Individuals who have received their Bachelor’s degree and want to pursue a career in English language teaching in an increasingly multilingual world;
• Individuals who are interested in language program administration and management;
• Individuals who are interested in research in the field of applied linguistics.
