Bachelor in English Language Teaching

English Language Teaching trains future educators to teach English to speakers of other languages, joining linguistic study with classroom-focused teaching skills. Core coursework typically includes English grammar, phonetics, language teaching methodology, and curriculum and materials design, giving students both command of the language and the tools to teach it effectively. Second language acquisition is usually studied in depth, covering how learners progress through different stages of language learning and how instruction can be adapted to support that progress. Supervised teaching practice is a standard component of the degree, placing students in classroom settings where they plan and deliver lessons under the guidance of experienced mentors and receive structured feedback. Courses in assessment and testing are also typical, preparing graduates to evaluate learner progress fairly and design assessments aligned with course objectives. Educational technology is often integrated into coursework, reflecting the growing use of digital tools and resources in modern language classrooms. Graduates typically go on to teach in primary or secondary schools, private language institutes, or international education programs, with some pursuing further study in applied linguistics, education, or teaching-related fields. This program is delivered in English at Ada Kent University in Gazimağusa, Northern Cyprus, over a 4 year bachelor's degree, set in a university community with a substantial number of international students who provide informal opportunities to apply teaching and communication skills outside the classroom.
