Pretty tough though. I managed to just get a first.Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I've heard about/looked into that school, I'm considering it. Assuming you are a non-UK citizen (I'm from the states), was the process long and drawn out or fairly easygoing? Thanks again.I'm from the Uk but still had to pay the full tuition as I wasn't a resident. The course was around two and half years. It was tough, the dissertation was probably the most challenging thing I have ever done. I did it on task based learning and which tasks produce which aspects of language production. There is a lot of reading involved. However, it is a very well respected MA to have. I've heard quite a bit about this program, even from reddit, I'll definitely keep my eye on this program. I will probably try to apply next year. I heard they pretty much give out a "glorified reading list" and I've even found some examples online. If you have a list of some of those publications, I would gladly appreciate it, just want to see what I'm getting into and prepare myself for the actual program (I know the list may change a bit from year to year, but just want to get an idea). If you can't or don't want to then that is fine, I understand. Thanks for the for regardless.

They are fairly cheap, although they don't allow you to use FASFA (that's how they keep it so cheap). My friend finished the program and said it was fairly easy, and they also have a few options when it comes to Masters in Education, specifically ESL.

Are they universally recognized? What are people with advanced degrees in ESL doing these days? Heading to the Middle East?
There are plenty of people in Korea who have online Master's degrees that are accepted to teach at universities.
Most universities don't put "online" on the diploma so it would be really difficult for them to know if you did it online unless you tell them or they look it up.

It's the thread po-po! Everybody run!
I know lots of people who found university teaching jobs after doing the Birmingham MA program. While the MA was done through distance learning Birmingham offer the exact same course at the physical university. There is no difference between the MA I have and one done on the campus.
