Early Years and English Language Teaching BA (Hons)
Working with young children is hugely rewarding. It can also be very challenging, and it's a fast-paced sector. Teaching English to children is exciting and involves lots of fun, games and structured play. Children have incredible energy and are naturally receptive language learners. We'll help you see ways to maximise this energy to organise games and fun activities that involve language learning and at the same time support young children's cognitive, social and emotional development.
This course will broaden and deepen your understanding of education in early years contexts and successful ways to develop the English language abilities of younger learners.
We consider aspects of child development and learning, of professional and inclusive practice so that we can support, the child, the families and our colleagues. Using theory and practical experiences we explore language acquisition, contemporary theories and pedagogical approaches and international models of early childhood education.
