Bachelor in English Language Teaching

English Language Teaching prepares students to teach English as a foreign or second language, combining the study of linguistics and pedagogy with practical teaching skills. The curriculum typically covers English grammar, phonetics, second language acquisition, curriculum design, and classroom methodology, along with coursework in educational psychology and assessment. Students study approaches to teaching reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills to learners of different ages and proficiency levels. Practical teaching experience, often through supervised classroom placements, allows students to apply teaching methods in real educational settings. Graduates work as English language teachers in schools, language institutes, and educational organizations, or continue to graduate study in applied linguistics, education, or teaching English to speakers of other languages. This bachelor's program runs for 4 years and is taught in English at Istanbul Medipol University in İstanbul, Turkey. Training in an English-medium program supports strong language proficiency for future teaching careers, while İstanbul offers a large and varied educational sector for practical experience.
