Bachelor in English Language Teaching

English Language Teaching prepares students to teach English as a foreign language, combining advanced English proficiency with the pedagogical theory and classroom practice needed to design lessons, assess learners, and manage a language classroom effectively. Students study second language acquisition theory, curriculum design, testing and assessment, and teaching methodology alongside literature and linguistics courses that deepen their own command of English, while practicum components give them supervised experience teaching in real classroom settings. Typical coursework includes methods of foreign language teaching, second language acquisition, educational psychology, curriculum and materials development, and teaching practicum placements in schools, giving graduates both theoretical grounding and hands-on classroom experience before they enter the profession. Graduates pursue careers as English teachers in primary, secondary, and language school settings, as well as roles in curriculum development, educational publishing, and language program administration, and the degree also supports further graduate study in applied linguistics or education. This bachelor's program is offered at Duzce University in Duzce, Turkey, taught in English over a 4-year course of study, ensuring that future teachers are themselves immersed in an English-medium academic environment throughout their training. The curriculum generally builds English language proficiency and linguistic knowledge alongside a structured sequence of education courses, culminating in supervised teaching practice in schools. Lesson planning, peer teaching exercises, and classroom observation are common features of the coursework, reflecting the practice-oriented nature of teacher training. By graduation, students are prepared to plan and deliver English language instruction, assess student progress, and adapt teaching methods to different learner needs within Turkey's education system.
