Prepare to teach everything from Shakespeare to the Romantic age to modernist literature as you study one of the core subjects of the national curriculum. Experience life working in schools and gain recommendation for Qualified Teacher Status when you graduate.What’s the relationship between the curriculum and children’s development? Here at Edge Hill, you won’t just develop your knowledge of English. You’ll learn to think about your role as a teacher. You’ll explore different perspectives. And evaluate the principles that underpin education today.As well as in-depth modules where you’ll study everything from Shelley to sociolinguistics, you’ll spend lots of time in schools. You’ll help with classes and see how the theory you’ve learned applies in real-life settings. Gaining inspiration from your mentors, you’ll start to develop your own teaching style and form your own ideas about the role of education.
