International Master of Teaching English

By 2020, the British Council forecasts that over two billion people will be speaking or learning English. With English becoming the world’s lingua franca, the demand for teachers of English continues to grow.

FIH’s IMTE program prepares graduates for international careers in teaching English as an additional language. The IMTE not only provides you with a sought-after Masters degree in Teaching English as an International Language but includes preparation for various certificates from Cambridge Assessment English, part of England’s world-famous Cambridge University.

Program Structure

IMTE provides a highly interactive, experiential learning experience with an emphasis on work-integrated learning. During intensive practicums, students practice their teaching skills by developing course materials, administering tests and assessments, and working directly with individuals and groups of students. The final semester consists of an intensive practicum that may be completed here in America, in an international setting, or in a student’s home country.
