BA (Hons) English Language and Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL)
Teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) gives you the opportunity to travel the world. A degree in English Language and TEFL can take you into a wide array of different contexts, from teaching air-traffic controllers in Madrid, to advertising executives in Rio de Janeiro, or university students in China.
There are opportunities for working with charities and NGOs in the developing parts of the world, and there are also opportunities in the UK, as more and more people come from around the world to study, work and live here. English is the official language of 54 separate countries, spoken by around 400 million people as their first language and used by around a billion more. Its importance socially, culturally, politically and economically fuels the demand for people certified to teach English throughout the world.
Successful completion of this course enables you to qualify as an instructor of English while studying for a degree in English Language. As a trained specialist, you could travel the globe and experience new cultures, while helping people to learn the English language and skills for effective communication.
Coventry is an authorised Cambridge University English Language Assessment Centre, which enables the opportunity to gain the professional and internationally recognised Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) or Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT), in addition to Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) degree accreditation.
