Course overview: This one-year top-up TESOL programme develops your knowledge and understanding of English language learning and teaching theory. You also practice teaching English to speakers of other languages. You are exposed to various forms of the English language, specifically focusing on the learning and teaching of language skills and systems.
There are two language modules where you learn about language skills as well as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and functions. The TESOL module concentrates on how speakers of other languages than English learn and how they should be taught English. You also study a module that concentrates on planning research, and a dissertation module where you undertake a project on a topic of your choice, for example, language and culture, English language for science and technology, business language, or language and resources for younger learners. You may be given the opportunity to take the University of Cambridge Teaching Knowledge Test and, on graduating, apply to study towards the Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. This is a sought-after professional qualification for teachers of English as a foreign language. After the course: This course is aimed at anybody who has a strong interest in the English language and in teaching it to speakers of other languages. There are varied work opportunities for BA in TESOL graduates, including working abroad in a range of TESOL contexts, or continuing on the Cambridge CELTA or on a postgraduate course such as MA Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages or MA Education, or a PhD. The University offers specific guidance and support regarding further studies and employment in this field.
