Bachelor in English Language Teaching

English Language Teaching prepares students to teach English as a foreign language at primary and secondary levels. The curriculum covers English linguistics, second language acquisition theory, curriculum design, and teaching methodology, paired with supervised classroom practice and lesson planning. Students also develop assessment techniques and classroom management skills needed to support learners at different proficiency levels. Graduates work as English teachers in public and private schools, language institutes, and educational publishing, or continue to graduate study in applied linguistics, education, or teaching English to speakers of other languages. The program is taught in English and runs over 4 years at Maltepe University, located in İstanbul, Turkey. Over the 4 years of study, students move from foundational courses toward more specialized electives, building both the theoretical grounding and the practical skills expected in the field. Studying at Maltepe University places students within İstanbul's wider academic and professional community, giving access to campus resources, faculty guidance, and opportunities to connect coursework with real-world practice through projects, internships, or research work depending on the track chosen. By graduation, students are expected to have a solid command of the discipline's core methods and terminology, along with the communication and analytical habits needed to move into entry-level professional roles or continue toward graduate study.
