Our Single Honours BA in History and TESOL at Aberystwyth University offers the opportunity to study a varied and comprehensive curriculum of history over a long sweep of chronological time in combination with a thorough introduction to the discipline of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). You will study history from the medieval period through to the late modern world, and in a variety of different forms of historical inquiry - from social and political to economic and cultural history. You will learn the skills that are needed by historians, such as assessing primary sources, mastering secondary works and formulating historical analyses of past societies, whilst developing a variety of communication skills which will complement the TESOL components of the scheme and help prepare you to teach English to speakers of other languages. In the summer of your second year the optional Teaching Practice unit hones these practical skills and leads to the award of the Certificate in TESOL. This exciting additional opportunity means that, even before you graduate, you could gain the professional qualification needed to secure your first TESOL job. If you think this is the course for you, come to Aberystwyth University and let your adventure begin. **Why study BA History and TESOL at Aberystwyth University?** - Aberystwyth is a small town with a big heart and a cosmopolitan outlook.
