Bachelor of Arts - Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) (QX31)

University of Essex - Colchester Campus

What you will study

Students explore a broad range of topics that give them a thorough grounding in English language, teaching methodologies as well as practical training in TEFL. They study topics including: • Second language learning • Foundations of TEFL • Language in Society • Practical training in TEFL methods linguistics and sociolinguistics • The structure of the English language

In each year it is possible to take a modern foreign language option, if they wish, instead of an English language option.

In their second year, students take three practical TEFL modules where they learn about teaching methodology, receive guided preparation sessions, and engage in teaching practice. Taken together, these modules are worth 60 credits and provide the content required for a TEFL-initiate qualification. On successful completion, they are awarded a stand-alone certificate in TEFL which will help them start their teaching career.

Essex is a leading UK university for language and linguistics research (REF 2014), a place where talented students become part of an academic community in which the majority of research is rated ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, placing them firmly within the top 10 departments in the UK.

If students want a global outlook, are interested in human communication, and want to study for a degree with real-world practical value in a world-class department, welcome to Essex.
