About
The Graduate Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is a specialist qualification for people who want to teach English to speakers of other languages in Australia or overseas. Current primary or high school teachers who want to gain additional ESL qualifications will also be interested in this qualification.
The UOW Graduate Certificate in TESOL offers sound theoretical foundations and extensive practical skills that address the broader aspects of education and training. In addition to exploring teaching methods and common grammar issues, you will also undertake a supervised professional experience placement in an ESL classroom.
This course has three core subjects and one elective subject. You will have the opportunity to progress into the Master of Education (TESOL) or the Master of Education Extension (TESOL) if you are interested in further study, with credit for all of the subjects (24 credit points) completed in the Graduate Certificate.
This Graduate Certificate is flexible, allowing you to study online, in the classroom, or a combination of both.
Admission criteria
Either:
- Australian three-year bachelor degree, or recognised equivalent, or
