Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Health Sciences Conjoint - Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages

The University of Auckland

A BA/BHSc conjoint allows you to complete a BA and BHSc in less time than it would take to complete the two degrees separately. This conjoint draws upon the biological, social, and behavioural aspects of communities. The programme focuses on the determinants of health, health promotion, disease prevention, healthcare systems and health policy. Learn how to apply core principles of health promotion and disease prevention to specific health problems in the community – and choose from a wide range of subjects in the humanities, social sciences, cultures and languages. The BA/BHSc is a broad non-clinical programme of study that prepares graduates for a broad range of health-related careers. You could work in areas such as health promotion, health education, community health, counselling and health service planning. We advise that the University of Auckland is not involved in the employment of graduates and can make no guarantee of post-qualification registration or employment in New Zealand or any other country.A BA majoring in TESOL will equip you with concepts and skills that you can later develop through a teacher training qualification. You can combine your TESOL study with another complementary BA major. You will develop an understanding of English and second language learning from a language teaching perspective. You will first develop your skills and knowledge in language analysis, language teaching and learning. You will then build on this foundation by exploring the principles and practices of designing and delivering language teaching tasks, lessons and courses.
