Conjoint: BA/BGlobalSt module in Language Teaching and Learning

Skip to Main Content

The increasing diversity of New Zealand and the internationalisation of business, study and the workplace have led to more demand for knowledge of English and other modern languages.

This module combines learning an additional language, which is an essential experience for any prospective language teacher, with two introductory courses on how additional or foreign languages are taught and learned. You will therefore gain insights that may help you as both a language learner and teacher.

There is a huge international market for language teachers, particularly of English, with study at many different levels offered by a wide range of providers. This module could help give you a start towards a language teaching qualification and career. By taking this module you will also demonstrate your openness to other cultures and perspectives.
