Course Overview
Degree Information, This programme will give students a critical awareness of language and discourse systems required for teaching as well as current theories of language acquisition and of factors affecting this acquisition. Students will also explore the methods and approaches currently used in English language teaching, the place of English and English language teaching in the wider world and the concept of multilingualism. There will also be an opportunity to carry out a piece of advanced research in an educational context. Careers: This is a new programme - the first cohort graduated in 2015 - and graduates will be suitable for work across a broad range of areas. Some may work as English language teachers from the early years to higher education (in conjunction with a teaching qualification of the country in question), while others will have jobs as textbook and materials writers, editors and publishers. Graduates will also be found working as education journalists, NGO/development officers, education consultants, policy advisers and researchers. Why study this degree at UCL?
