Course Description

Our mission is to discover how language is organised, how it is acquired and how it is used for communication. You obtain techniques and materials to teach English to non-native speakers. You consider how English sentences are structured, how English words are formed and how many sounds English has. You explore whether native and foreign learners learn the language in the same way and understand the role of the English teacher in the classroom. Your third year spent abroad gives you the chance to gain more experience and become even more employable.
