Online Teaching English To Speakers Other Languages Tesol Degree :: Accredited Universities

Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is designed to prepare you for a professional career in English language teaching. TESOL is ideal if you have teacher qualifications and are considering a career change from within another educational context, or if you would like to better understand the language issues facing many migrant children or international students.

The TESOL core units deal with how second languages are learned and what are effective ways to teach them. The discipline units Second Language Acquisition and Principles of Second Language Methodology will extend your knowledge and explore possible pedagogical implications such as application of technology to second language learning.

You may consider taking advantage of elective units from the broad range of study areas available in the masters course to help prepare you for a change in career direction or specialisation. Some examples are early childhood with young ESL learners, librarianship for resources and literacy, leadership for management positions, counselling services, cyber learning, or a research career.
