Overview

The TESOL and Intercultural Communication degree at the University of Strathclyde addresses questions about the learning, teaching and use of English by speakers of other languages from an intercultural communication perspective. It draws on the expertise of educationalists, linguists, and literature/culture scholars.

You'll gain a better understanding of language learning and language use in intercultural contexts. You will engage with key issues relating to language teaching and intercultural communication. You will have opportunities to develop theoretical knowledge and practical skills for language-related careers in a linguistically diverse world.

You may choose to work as an English language teacher, course designer or course director, with students ranging from young learners or high school students, to college or university students or adult learners.
