The Master of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) at Deakin University is designed for those aiming to build advanced expertise in teaching English as an additional language. This one-year master's degree delivers a comprehensive curriculum that covers contemporary language teaching methodologies, curriculum design, assessment practices, language acquisition theory, and sociolinguistics. Students learn to apply evidence-based strategies in diverse educational settings, reflecting the unique cultural and linguistic environment of Australia.
Australian master’s degrees like this often comprise a blend of core and elective units, each represented by credit points. Over two or three trimesters, students progress through units in educational linguistics, TESOL methodology, language teaching technologies, and cross-cultural communication. Many students complete a capstone research project or applied practicum, which may involve research relevant to TESOL in Australian or international contexts, enhancing employability and practical skills.
Throughout the programme, students gain advanced skills in lesson planning, classroom management, assessment, and reflective practice. The course emphasises intercultural communication, preparing graduates to work effectively in classrooms with learners from a wide range of backgrounds. It is ideal for graduates of humanities, education, or language studies, classroom practitioners seeking TESOL accreditation, and those aspiring to teach English both in Australia and abroad.
International students benefit from the opportunity to engage with Australia's multicultural communities and can apply for post-study work rights under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485). Recognised English proficiency is required for admission, with a higher standard reflecting teaching qualification demands. Students also enjoy the option to work up to 48 hours per fortnight during their studies, gaining practical experience in relevant educational settings.
It typically takes 1 year, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
