Overview

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) - Teaching English as a Foreign Language 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.
