Faculty of Arts and Design

Faculty of Arts and Design

The Master of Arts in TESOL and Foreign Language Teaching extends the skills and knowledge gained in the Graduate Diploma, particularly in the areas of critical thinking, analysis and evaluation, report writing, seminar presentation and research on theoretical and practical teaching and learning issues. Students can expect to perform at the standard of senior teacher level after completing the course. Students completing the Graduate Diploma in TESOL and Foreign Language Teaching may gain credit and undertake only the units of the second. This qualification may be used in Australia or overseas, but those who wish to teach ESL in Australian schools will also need a Bachelor of Education or Graduate Diploma in Education.

Please note: the former course 917AA will no longer be offered to new students.
