Hve started English with Cultural Studies Degree. Should I switch to English Lit?

I want to be a secondary English teacher and aim to study via the GTP. I am thrilled to be doing any degree due to crap GCSE's and 1 B at English Lit & Lang A level.

I am enjoying the sociology side of my degree, but am having underlying doubts and thinking that 'straight' English would be more highly thoughy of. My passion lies in the narrative, and not cultural theory. If it is possible should I switch to English Lit? Is that better CV wise?

No, but I did know I had to get one. Any other tips or things I mmay not have thought of? Cheers for this.

I think I'd focus on your degree for now and just keep the ultimate goal in mind throughout by getting school experience (in several schools if poss over the 3 years) and keeping abreast of how ITT/teaching English is going.

The national curriculum is having a HUGE overhaul in the next 2 years so look out for that!

Good luck in your studies and give me a shout if you need anything Smile
