Your first year at Essex on the BA Language Studies and Teaching English as a Foreign Language (with Foundation year) course will be with Essex Pathways. In your second year of study, you will join the Department of Language and Linguistics for the remaining three years of study
Learn the essentials for teaching languages to others, while simultaneously going through the experience of learning a language yourself. Pass the teaching practice modules and graduate with an additional qualification in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (Certificate).
Our course is ideal if you want to teach English to non-native speakers, but the knowledge and skills you develop will also prepare you 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 your work to others is required.
