You will study the structure of English, how it is used and how it may be taught. You will learn how to plan lessons for different types of learners, creating and adapting materials as required. Different types of learners will be considered as well as the impact a learners cultural and linguistic background may have on their views of the role of the teacher and the learner.
During stage two, you will start teaching practice and broaden your understanding of how English works and how it is taught. In the final stage you will learn about second language acquisition, and produce an original piece of classroom based research for your dissertation. You will also undertake a placement at a local school or college in order to experience the realities of the classroom first-hand.
Key features:
Areas of study include:
A foundation degree will be of particular interest if you have completed a Modern Apprenticeship, vocational A levels, BTEC National or equivalent.
Foundation degrees are also particularly suitable if you want to qualify while working.
Many students studying for foundation degrees come to us through work-based routes so you can apply for a foundation degree even if you don’t have traditional academic qualifications.
We welcome applicants with relevant work experience.
We will consider you as an individual and take into account all elements of your application, not just your qualifications. We are looking for both breadth and depth in your current studies as well as enthusiasm for the subject you wish to study.
The general requirement is one of the following:
Postgraduate applications (MA/MSc) should be made direct to the University using the standard University application form. There are some exceptions, please see individual course descriptions for details.
As a general guide, to apply for a place on an undergraduate course (BA/BSc) at the University you need to have completed your high school education and have the required English qualification.
We have students from all the European Union member countries so we are quick to make decisions on most qualifications.
(Please note that applicants on a full student visa are not eligible for part-time study)
We recommend that you apply directly to the University where possible, as this allows us to offer the quickest turnaround time for your application.
Please read the Direct application instructions before completing the course application form.
Application forms for accommodation in the student halls at Bedford campus and Luton campus are available in the Student life section
APL is available for international students applying for undergraduate (Bachelor degree) study. Please do not use this APL form to apply for postgraduate courses.

The APL form should be submitted at the same time as the course application form.
