Masters (Coursework)
The Master of Education (TESOL) program is suitable for experienced teachers wishing to upgrade or refine their English as a Second Language (ESL) or English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching skills. It is also for people who are new to education and wish to pursue careers in English language teaching in the adult education sector such as working with private colleges or migrant services.
This degree offers sound theoretical foundations and extensive practical skills that address the broader aspects of education and training, with a focus on teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL).
You will have the opportunity to incorporate electives from other education areas such as Educational Leadership or Digital Technologies for Learning, to tailor your degree to current and future career goals.
You will also benefit from flexible study options, allowing you to study online or in the classroom.
What you will study
During this degree you will study the key theories of ESL/EFL teaching and supplement them with an in-depth understanding of areas such as second language development, grammar, assessment, evaluation and technology-based language teaching. You can also choose to do a supervised professional experience placement in an ESL or EFL classroom.
You will build skills to investigate and solve complex issues in a rapidly changing educational climate and conduct an individualised research project that ties in with your work, interests and study specialisation.
