Course Overview

English Language with TESOL at DMU allows you to combine the study of the English Language with the key theoretical and practical issues involved in the field of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. The course is designed to enable you to develop your own ability to teach English to non-native speakers whilst enabling you to think about how language in general and English in particular functions in the world today. You will study linguistics, grammar, the evolution of the English language, and a variety of writing styles, while also exploring the theory of how to teach English as a second language. You will develop a set of linguistic and analytical skills, which will help you become a highly skilled communicator. In the final year, you will have the opportunity to put your theoretical knowledge into practice with our work placement module.
