Want to develop sought-after teaching skills that lead to career progression?
The Graduate Certificate of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is an internationally recognised degree designed for current educators looking to build specialised skills, as well as professionals from other backgrounds with a passion for teaching and language. A high demand for English teachers worldwide puts graduates in a strong position to unlock new career pathways in Australia and abroad.
Under the guidance of accomplished academics with global experience in language teaching, you will be trained to teach English as an additional language in schools and adult-learning contexts. Key study areas include:
principles and approaches to TESOL, including curriculum design and evaluation
the structure of the English language and how to analyse features of written and spoken text
linguistic and pedagogical aspects of language learning
how languages are learned and in what contexts
contemporary issues relating to language curriculum development.
The course takes an interactive, problem-based approach to teaching. This allows you to develop practical skills that translate directly to the classroom. It also focuses on research-led learning, ensuring course content is evidence based, and the skills you learn reflect the modern challenges of the field.
Upon completion of the course, you’ll have the option of pursuing rewarding roles in TESOL education, or continuing your studies into the Master of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. The Masters program builds on skills learned at the graduate certificate level, and broadens your industry experience with even more professional development opportunities.
