Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in English Language for TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language)- Optional Placement Year

Program Overview

English is an important language socially, politically and economically. As a world language, with c.1.5 billion speakers worldwide, there is a great demand for people qualified to teach English internationally. This English Language for TEFL course will teach you about linguistics, with a focus on English. In your final year you will take modules specifically relating to TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language), setting you on the path to becoming qualified as an instructor of English.

On this English Language for TEFL course you will learn about, understand and interpret many aspects of human language. You will get the opportunity to explore the ways in which people’s language abilities develop, how our language changes according to the context in which it is being used and who is speaking, how language is organized and processed in the brain, how language is learnt and how it is taught. You will look at the way English has changed over the centuries, considering what will become of it in the future, comparing English use in different parts of the globe, and considering important practical aspects of English such as the hundreds of millions of people worldwide learning English as an additional or foreign language. You will learn about linguistics and how language in general can be studied, and you will get the opportunity to compare English with other languages, particularly in the context of multilingual societies where English is not the only language used.

Placement
