Dette er studieretningen for deg som ønsker å kombinere din faglige interesse for engelsk og den engelskspråklige verden med læreryrket. Som lærer i engelsk vil du være med å utvikle språk- og kommunikasjonsferdigheter som kreves i en stadig mer globalisert verden.
Som student i engelsk på lektorutdanningen vil du utvikle deg selv og dine kunnskaper om både litteratur, kultur, politikk, historie og språkforhold i den store engelsktalende verden. Du vil arbeide med et utrolig rikt og variert språk og samtidig få en kompetanse i tekstforståelse og litterær analyse. Engelsk er et av basisfagene i skolen, det vil derfor alltid være et stort behov for dyktige engelsklærere.
Lektorutdanningen er et innholdsrikt og veldig variert studium, det gir deg faglig fordypning i to disiplinfag og i profesjonsfag samt praksiserfaring. Alle fagene som inngår i lektorutdanningen er forsknings- og erfaringsbaserte, og det gir deg de beste forutsetningene for å lykkes i arbeidslivet. Lektorutdanningen gir undervisningskompetanse på grunnskolens ungdomstrinn og i videregående opplæring.
Med engelsk som studieretningsfag (fag 1), kan du velge historie, matematikk, nordisk, nordsamisk (på morsmålsnivå), religionsvitenskap, russisk, sosiologi, samfunnsfag eller spansk som fag 2.

Delstudier i utlandet gjør deg ekstra attraktiv på arbeidsmarkedet i en stadig mer globalisert verden! Utenlandsopphold gir deg bedre språkkunnskaper, unike opplevelser og internasjonale erfaringer. Det vil også utvide din personlige og faglige horisont.
Studieretning engelsk legger til rette for utveksling i sjuende semester. Du tar tilsvarende masteremner i engelsk (på til sammen 30 studiepoeng) ved et universitet som UiT har utvekslingsavtale med. Engelsk har egne avtaler, og det anbefales at studentene bruker disse, blant annet:
Vi tar forbehold om hvilke emner det utenlandske universitetet kan tilby. Utenlandsoppholdet må godkjennes av instituttet før du reiser. Endelig godkjenning ved UiT søkes med dokumentasjon på bestått eksamen i de anbefalte emnene i utlandet. For nærmere informasjon om søkeprosessen, frister og stipendmuligheter, se universitetets nettsider om studentutveksling eller kontakt veileder for ditt masterfag.
Søknadsfrist for utveksling i vårsemesteret er 1. september.
Søknadsfrist for utveksling i høstsemesteret er 1. februar.

Castor, Laura
Laura Castor is professor in English literature/culture who is passionate about teaching, reading and writing on Indigenous people's issues (especially in North America) and African American literatures and cultures. She teaches, writes, and has advised Masters theses on topics such as contemporary Native North American and African American fiction, dystopian literature, satire, life narrative, and gendered discourses. In research and teaching, she seeks to understand how historical, cultural and intersectional contexts are represented in the arts. Her current research examines questions related to collective memory, embodied social justice,decolonial and antiracist interventions in the academy. An ongoing concern of hers is how we might move toward healing trauma through storytelling --in, for example, life narratives, fiction, and crossovers between fiction, visual art, and music. Her book, Facing Trauma in Contemporary American Literary Discourse: Stories of Survival and Possibility (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2019) addresses these issues.
