The Graduate Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and Foreign Language Teaching (FLT) at the University of Canberra introduces contemporary approaches to language teaching. You'll engage with core principles behind English language instruction and foreign language pedagogy. The course also considers the Australian context, where multicultural classrooms and diverse linguistic backgrounds are common.
This six-month course is structured around several units of study, each carrying specific credit points as outlined by the university. Topics often include teaching methodology, curriculum design, assessment strategies, and classroom management for English and foreign languages. Assessment is usually based on assignments, lesson plans, and practical teaching demonstrations, sometimes through simulated or real teaching environments.
Core capabilities include lesson planning, understanding second language acquisition, using digital tools for teaching, and responding to student diversity. The course benefits those who wish to teach English to speakers of other languages, as well as teachers planning to work with foreign languages in schools, private colleges, or community settings. Many students are existing teachers, or graduates in linguistics, languages, or education, looking to gain a formal qualification in the TESOL or FLT fields.
International students may work up to 48 hours per fortnight while studying and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) on successful completion, subject to visa conditions. Units taken in this certificate may provide credit if you decide to continue to a graduate diploma or master's degree.

It typically takes 26 weeks, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
