Department of English The Department of English has two degrees focused on the training of teachers in English; the Bachelor of Education (BEd in English) and the Master of Education (MEd). The MEd program is described in the section on Graduate Programs. The department offers courses in critical thinking, communication skills, and scientific and technical writing as part of the University General Requirement (UGR) program. Bachelor of Education (BEd in English) Overview The BEd in English (Elementary Education Program) “Teacher as Facilitator of Learning” is designed for pre-service teachers who have not received formal professional preparation in kindergarten through elementary teaching at an accredited Faculty or university. The program responds to ALHOSN University mission of developing up-to-date programs. It is both anchored to and aligned with the Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI) standards. The program has been prepared based on the new trends in teacher education namely performance-based education. Goals The Department of Education is committed to a learner-centered philosophy, environment, and focus. Planning, research, and collaboration are the key to being successful in preparing teachers for their roles in helping all students learn. To assist in meeting our goals we will form collaborative partnerships with the Ministry of Education and Youth, school zones, schools around the country as well as all stakeholders involved in the education of the youth in the UAE.
