    Bilingual Teaching Track

    If you are interested in teaching at a bilingual (TTO) school and are already training to teach at Hogeschool Rotterdam, the Bilingual Teaching Track (BTT) is for you. 

     

    We offer a range of courses to help you to develop skills in teaching your subject in English, and to learn about bilingual education in the Netherlands.  You look at ways to help pupils read, write, listen to, and speak about topics in your subject (eg Mathematics, Biology, Social Studies). You also examine aspects of bilingual education such as the TTO network, the role of Nuffic, intercultural awareness, and global citizenship. 

    All courses are delivered in English. You should be at a reasonable, high-intermediate level of English (B2 on the CEFR scale). You will be expected to strengthen your command of English while taking BTT subjects. To pass courses you will need to show that you have good, higher-level English (C1 on the CEFR scale). 

    Our courses are open to Hogeschool Rotterdam IVL students of all subjects after the propadeuse phase. They can form part of your profilering program, or can be taken as electives. Core modules are 5 credit points; electives are 2 points.   

    As of 2024-2025 students will be able to go on teaching practice in a bilingual school, where you can put ideas from the BTT into practice. BTT teaching practice is worth 10 credit points. 

    If you pass all four core modules and BTT teaching practice (30 credit points in total) you will be awarded a Certificate of Proficiency in Bilingual Teaching.
