Ph.D. in English Language Teaching (ELT) is a research-focused program developed for those who want to advance their understanding and practice of teaching English as a second or foreign language. The program typically lasts 3-5 years and covers themes such as second language acquisition, language teaching approaches, curriculum design, language evaluation, sociolinguistics, and educational technology. Students do original research to investigate successful teaching practices, language learning theories, and the cultural and environmental elements that influence language education. The curriculum includes coursework, research methodology, and a dissertation. Graduates frequently seek employment in academia, language teaching, teacher training, and educational research.
