About
The Graduate Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is designed for TAFE or Vocational Education teachers whose employers require them to have an in-depth qualification. This program is also for experienced educators looking for a higher specialist qualification in ESL teaching.
The Graduate Diploma in TESOL offers sound theoretical and empirical foundations and extensive practical skills that address the broader aspects of education and training.
This course has four core subjects, four elective subjects and a professional experience placement. These subjects are a combination of online and on campus delivery, with the option of completing your study entirely by distance.
This degree will provide you with the skills to teach the English language to students, with a focus on international and local contexts and catering for diversity in the classroom. In addition to exploring second language learning theories and research, teaching methods, and pedagogical grammar, you will also undertake a supervised professional experience placement in an ESL classroom.
