What you will study
Program Description For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Essex.
A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects.
Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Language Studies and Teaching English as a Foreign Language
This course is ideal for students that want to teach English to non-native speakers, but the knowledge and skills they develop will also prepare them for a range of other possible careers in the media, in administration, in business and in education; in fact, any job where the ability to apply critical thinking to problems, to conduct independent research and to communicate the results of their work to others are required.
Students study topics which give them a thorough grounding in English Language, and teaching English Language to others, including:
• Linguistics and sociolinguistics • The structure of the English language • Second language learning • Practical training in TEFL methods
Students also study up to two of the languages offered at Essex: French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, completing at least one language to a minimum of Proficiency level. These languages are widely used in the business world, and having acquired near fluency, many graduates go on to develop successful global careers with international firms looking.
Essex also offers a month-long summer course with fees paid for by them if students start a language from scratch via the intensive route.
