Communication and Information Studies: Language Learning and Language Teaching
What role does language play in education? Why are certain aspects of languages extremely difficult to learn, while others are relatively easy? How do we learn a second language, and what are the best teaching methods?
The Language Learning and Language Teaching specialisation of the Bachelor’s in Communication and Information Studies at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam focuses on the phenomenon of language in all its different facets.

How can you modify a test for toddlers so it can also be used for immigrant children? What is the best way to use sign language in combination with spoken language? How is dyslexia expressed in languages with a different script, such as Arabic?
During the Language Learning and Language Teaching specialisation of the Bachelor’s in Communication and Information Studies, you study language in the broadest sense of the word, covering both theoretical and applied issues.
The specialisation focuses on two types of language learning: the process of first-language acquisition by children, including those with an atypical pattern of language development (e.g. dyslexia, a hearing disorder or a communicative impairment); and the learning of a second or foreign language by both children and adults.
The programme gives you plenty of opportunities to shape your own curriculum and follow your interests. It also has a small-scale setup, which means you benefit from personal contact with lecturers. The working language is English. Moreover, this is a unique specialisation: no other university in the Netherlands offers a programme like this at Bachelor’s level.

So you’ve graduated—now what?
Most graduates of the Bachelor’s in Communication and Information Studies: Language Learning and Language Teaching choose to continue their studies, but you can also dive straight into a range of different positions. You are broadly employable in roles that tackle certain challenges in society. For example, you can improve education for children with dyslexia or advocate for people who are unable to read or write. You have insight into the workings of linguistic competence and understand how to approach the teaching of writing skills to people who are illiterate.
