TEACHING ENGLISH
AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE PROGRAM
Teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) involves
teaching English to individuals, usually in their own countries. The demand for
EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teachers is enormous nationally and internationally
and the job market is quite competitive. A good teacher has the knowledge, expertise and
practical know-how to teach students with diverse needs and interests in EFL.
METU Northern
Cyprus Campus TEFL Program
The B.A. Program in Teaching English as a Foreign Language
provides students with the opportunity to expand and refine their knowledge of English
and equips them with the means and resources to assist their students in
learning English. Students learn the best practices in the planning, teaching
and evaluating of second language instruction and are given the opportunity to observe
how these practices are implemented in local schools. To address some of the
needs of globalization, students are also provided with courses in a second
foreign language, which they learn to actively use in communication and to
obtain or reinforce knowledge of other subject areas. The program provides students
with a wide selection of elective courses mainly focusing on English literature
and translation. Most of these courses are also open to interested students
studying at the METU Northern Cyprus campus, giving them the opportunity to
learn English literature and practice translation from English or another
European language to Turkish.
Career Opportunities
Graduates of this program will be certified English teachers
and will be qualified to work as English teachers, curriculum designers and
material developers at public and private schools and universities as well as
in other areas requiring advanced English language skills.
