This BA (Hons) course in English Language, Linguistics & TESOL gives you the skills you need to teach English around the world. The programme is designed to give you both a deep understanding of theories and methods for teaching English in a multilingual world and broad expertise in language structure and use - equipping you for the practical challenge of teaching English as a world language.
The English Language, Linguistics & TESOL BA (Hons) programme gives you a working knowledge of linguistics - how language is used and structured - and an understanding of theories and methods for teaching English in a multilingual world. You'll be able to choose from a range of specialist modules such as Language, Gender & Sexuality, Forensic Linguistics, Child Language Acquisition and Speech and Language Pathology.
You'll learn how we convey meaning, how language varies according to speaker and situation and investigate the social, political and ideological issues in language education. The internationally-recognised teaching qualification CELTA is included, subject to successful interview.
Dr Becky Muradás-Taylor - Subject Director, English Language, Linguistics & TESOL

York St John University works hard to create an inclusive environment for all our students. We offer a range of disability advice services to assist students throughout their studies.
Delivery
English Language, Linguistics & TESOL modules are delivered using a mixture of lectures, workshops and seminars. Seminar groups have up to 30 students.
Academic and research skills are embedded in modules, for example, academic writing and referencing, peer review, use of web-based resources for document sharing, and the use of wikis and blogs.
Contact hours
You will take three modules per semester (except for your final semester when you will take a 40-credit dissertation module and one other module). Each module has 2-4 hours of contact time. The taught sessions could be spread across all five days of the week or could be concentrated into fewer days. Taught sessions are scheduled between 9.00am-8.00pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 9.00am-1.00pm Wednesday, and 9.00am-6.00pm Friday.
As well as the taught sessions, you will also have academic tutorials through the semester, you can set up tutorials with your module tutors, and you'll be able to attend events such as the Colloquium Lectures and Language Talks.
Self-study time
If you are joining us from school, college or the workplace you will probably feel you have a very empty timetable. This is because a 20-credit module, which is equivalent to 200 hours of study, only has 2-4 hours a week of contact time - the rest is the study you are expected to do yourself.
We support students in achieving this by giving lots of guidance on what to study, including weekly readings and preparation for assessments, and offering regular tutorials and drop-in sessions with module tutors so you can get feedback on your work. All modules are supported by materials hosted on Moodle, the University's Virtual Learning Environment.
Staffing
You will be taught by academic staff in the School of Languages & Linguistics. The Head of School is Dr Rachel Wicaksono. The English Language, Linguistics & TESOL programme is managed by the Subject Director for Languages and TESOL Dr Becky Muradás-Taylor. University support staff are well integrated into our programme, for example, a representative from the library contributes sessions on research and referencing over the course of the programme.
Assessment Methods
Assessment methods vary from module to module. There is an exam on Language Structure: Grammar in the first year. Other assessment methods include essays, presentations, data analysis, online tests, peer reviews, blog posts and research proposals and reports.
As a Languages & Linguistics student you will be part of the School of Languages & Linguistics (SoLL), along with other Undergraduate and Postgraduate students studying British Sign Language, French, Spanish, Japanese, English language, Linguistics and Clinical Linguistics. Our research is rated 'internationally excellent' and we frequently collaborate on research projects with our students here in York, as well as with academic colleagues across the University and around the world. We are very proud of our students' commitment to the School. As members of our well-established student societies, the Languages Society, the Japanese Society and the Linguistics Society, they organise an exciting programme of events for students (and staff!), including a regular guest lecture series, overseas trips, conferences, dinners, and other social events.
