Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)

Only recently introduced for second language learners, the TESOL course prepares students to become qualified English teachers. The course provides hands-on experience, and isn’t designed to improve the student’s English ability, but rather increase the student’s classroom awareness.  Quite often second language learners make the best TESOL teachers as they can relate to the challenges facing the student.

The course usually runs for between 8 – 10 weeks, depending on which institution the students intend to study. Throughout the course students must successfully pass several assessment pieces including: demonstrations, oral presentations, written assignments, group work and preparation of classroom materials for lessons.
