Bachelor in English Language Teaching

English language teaching trains future educators to instruct learners in English as an additional language, drawing on linguistics, literature, and education coursework. Students typically study English grammar and phonetics, second language acquisition, teaching methods, assessment and testing, and materials development, complemented by supervised teaching practice in school settings. The program is designed so that graduates leave with both advanced English language skills and a working knowledge of how to plan lessons, manage a classroom, and assess student progress. Career paths include teaching positions in schools and private language institutes, roles in curriculum or materials design, and further graduate study in education, linguistics, or teacher training for those seeking more specialized positions. This bachelor program is delivered in English over 4 years at Bahçeşehir University in İstanbul, Turkey. Coursework in this field usually pairs theoretical study of language and learning with hands-on teaching experience gained through practicum placements. İstanbul offers a large and varied educational sector, giving students multiple types of school environments in which to complete their required teaching practice. Lesson planning, microteaching, and reflective practice are common instructional tools used throughout programs preparing students for careers in English language teaching.
