Bachelor in English Language Teaching

English Language Teaching prepares students to teach English as a foreign or second language, combining linguistics, pedagogy, and practical teaching skills. Coursework typically includes English grammar and phonetics, second language acquisition, curriculum design, classroom management, and teaching methodology, alongside practicum placements where students gain supervised classroom experience. Students also study educational psychology, assessment techniques, and materials development for language teaching, learning to design lessons suited to different age groups and proficiency levels. The program develops strong English communication skills alongside the pedagogical knowledge needed to plan, deliver, and evaluate language instruction. Graduates pursue careers as English teachers in primary, secondary, and language schools, as well as roles in curriculum development, educational publishing, and language program coordination. This program is taught in English over 4 years at Istanbul Aydın University in İstanbul, Turkey, offering an academic environment where both content and language instruction reinforce English proficiency. İstanbul's large network of schools and language institutes offers practicum and employment opportunities in language education. As students progress, they typically build from foundational linguistics and language courses toward specialized pedagogy courses and supervised teaching practice.
