TESOL

Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) at the University of Central Lancashire is delivered through personal and interactive sessions with academics and fellow students, developing the necessary skills for you to become a professional within this field.

A quarter of the world's population can speak English to some degree and as this is continuing to rise, there is a requirement to respond to the global demand of English teachers as the world continues to learn.

TESOL combines development of cultural awareness and people skills with subject skills that ensures your growing confidence to enter and grow as a professional in this field.

There is also the option to combine TESOL with a modern foreign language.

You’ll be taught in class sizes that will allow our academics to get to know you and for you to know everyone.

Fundamental to the courses are the practical sessions. You’ll get the opportunity to volunteer as a teaching assistant aided by experienced teachers. You’ll also have opportunities to work at local charities where you will be helping their service users.

You will also get the opportunity to extend your learning experience with the option to travel to a non-English speaking country to practice your teaching.

Fundamental throughout will be your development as a teacher, gaining practical skills in aspects of teaching whilst developing reflective and observational skills.
