Teaching English to Young Learners is a master's degree program at the University of Warsaw, based in Warszawa, Poland, running two years and taught in English, with yearly tuition of 2000 EUR. Graduates gain broad, interdisciplinary knowledge in language acquisition, young learner pedagogy, and language teaching methodology, with a particular focus on the integration of language and content, known as CLIL, as well as language assessment. Courses combine theory and practice of teacher education, and student teachers also take part in a series of workshops and lectures led by experts in young learner language teaching and learning, with much emphasis placed on preparing them to conduct teacher research and solve practical classroom challenges. Student practice takes place in selectively chosen schools and preschools that offer extended English language teaching programmes, giving graduates hands-on classroom experience alongside academic study. Graduates of the programme are prepared to teach English in preschools and in grades one through three of primary schools, in both regular foreign language classes and institutions offering bilingual programmes. Applied linguistics and teacher education as a field examines how young children acquire language and how teaching methods, materials, and assessment should be adapted for early learners, drawing on developmental psychology, pedagogy, and linguistics. Graduates of programmes in this field typically pursue careers as classroom teachers, curriculum developers, teacher trainers, or education researchers focused on early language learning. The programme is open to both international and Polish applicants holding a bachelor's, master's, engineer, or equivalent degree in any discipline.
