TESOL & Linguistics

This course will provide you with academic knowledge, practical skills and professional experience in preparation for a future in English language teaching and further study in the field of linguistics. It will provide the tools and resources for you to reflect upon your professional practice and conduct your own research. It is ideal for students from all academic backgrounds as there are no subject-specific entry requirements, other than GCSE English.

Linguistic graduates are well equipped to undertake careers ranging from marketing and publishing to speech and language therapy. Alongside the BA, for students who wish to progress towards achieving QTS, opportunities exist to complete our pre-teaching course which can assist you in gaining a place on one of our PGCE courses.
The course is designed for aspiring teachers or individuals who wish to pursue a career in working with learners of English as an additional, second or foreign language. We will work with you to enhance and develop your understanding of the different approaches to studying languages. You will consider how languages are learnt, used and taught in multicultural communities across the globalized world.
