About the Course

With an ever increasing demand for trained teachers all over the world in order to cater to a thriving ESL market, an advanced degree in English-teaching is of prime importance today. Serious teaching of English requires a solid knowledge-base and responsible involvement even among native English speakers as the society settles for nothing less than the best and the most productive option. The School system prefers those skilled English language teachers who have a substantial base of literature, a clear concept of teaching methodology, an analytical outlook towards varied psychological patterns among students and competence for handling school management.

TEFL International in association with the premier university Sikkim Manipal University offers a unique blend of these teaching attributes in the form of a three-year degree course - Bachelor of Science in Language Teaching (B.Sc. LT) under Distance Education. The program has been specially crafted to facilitate the need for language-education, bring out the creativity and drive in teaching and give impetus to professional growth of teachers.

Distributed across 6 semesters, B.Sc. LT is a comprehensive platter of Grammar, Literature, Communication skills, philosophy, psychology, economy, education, school management and practically all those significant aspects that a teacher needs to consider and develop in order to surface as a complete professional.

The modularity of this Degree course has attached flexibility of phasing the study. The student can choose to earn a 2-year Diploma qualification on completing Semester I – IV. It can also serve as an exit option for many who need to opt out of the program mid-way, under unavoidable circumstances.

The curriculum and course content of B.Sc. LT has been specially laid out by the revered academicians of SMU, bestowing it with an international standard aimed at unquestioned global acceptance for the students.
