Summary
Do you want to become an English language teacher and teach in the UK and around the world? Are you fascinated by language and keen to use it to solve practical problems in the world and the workplace?
Teaching English well is a skill that needs to be acquired, as it goes beyond the skillset of ‘native speakers’, requiring a strong understanding of the linguistic system, knowledge of how language is acquired and of different teaching methods, as well as an awareness of language use and associated ideologies. By fostering a critical awareness of these matters, this degree will equip you with the toolkit you’ll require as effective, inspiring and socially aware professionals within teaching and other professional and language-related sectors.
From teaching, to business, marketing, campaigns and lexicography, knowledge about English is essential. Language is fundamental to human nature and society, and English is playing an increasingly important role in a globalised world.
This unique course will equip you with the linguistic knowledge, critical awareness and language skills necessary for building or enhancing a career in a number of TESOL and language-related fields, including teaching English as a second or foreign language, interpretation, counselling and social work as well as in health settings and third sector roles.
For those wishing to specialise in teaching, the degree serves as ideal preparation for further training to become a teacher. It combines TESOL learning with insights into English in business, marketing, and campaigns, providing a strong foundation in English for Specific Purposes. Additionally, this degree enhances your linguistic knowledge, giving you a competitive edge in the workplace more generally.
Undertaking a professional work placement or a CELTA will be a springboard to your future career. You can either choose to complete a CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) with an authorised CELTA Centre (subject to being accepted onto their course), or source a placement in a school or in a role where a focus on language is relevant.
