This course is designed for home or overseas students who wish to pursue a career teaching English as a second or foreign language, but who have little or no formal teaching experience.
You'll study applied linguistics, approaches to English teaching and research methods on which later training in practical teaching can build. You'll explore theories of language acquisition and language teaching, with an emphasis on how you can apply such theories in practice.
You will take a total of 180 credits, consisting of four core modules, two option modules, and a dissertation. You also have the choice of two routes: either the research route, consisting of Research Methods for Language Education II and the traditional research Dissertation (ISM) or the Professional Practice Route, consisting of Professional Practice in Education and the Professional Practice Dissertation.
This course does not include a teaching placement.
You must choose this module in Semester 2 in order to take the Professional Practice Dissertation.
You will also study one option module:

Every course at York is built on a distinctive set of learning outcomes. These will give you a clear understanding of what you will be able to accomplish at the end of the course and help you explain what you can offer employers. Our academics identify the knowledge, skills, and experiences you'll need upon graduation and then design the course to get you there.
You’ll work with world‐leading academics who’ll challenge you to think independently and excel in all that you do. Our approach to teaching will provide you with the knowledge, opportunities, and support you need to grow and succeed in a global workplace.
You will be taught through a combination of formal lectures, seminars, practical exercises and workshops.
You will spend time working on your own, reading assigned texts and researching supporting materials, as well as working with others in seminars to discuss and present your work.
You will be able to take advantage of additional English language lessons and study skills workshops should you need them.
A member of teaching staff will act as your supervisor throughout the degree to help guide your studies and monitor your progress.
You will be based in the Department of Education on Campus West. Teaching for this course takes place at various locations on Campus West, including Vanbrugh, James and Alcuin Colleges; and the Spring Lane teaching building.
