Introduction to TESOL
ACADEMIC YEAR 2011-12
The Introduction to TESOL units, in particular part 1 and 2, are designed primarily to provide basic training to students in the School of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures who are planning to go on a year abroad as teaching assistants; they are also open to any student from any department within the university who has an interest in language teaching. Note that they are not open to members of the public, members of staff or non-credit students.
Please note that these are not equivalent to a fully accredited TESOL certification, such as the CertTESOL also offered by the University Language Centre. The latter is a fee-paying only course open to anyone from within and outside the university.
Introduction to TESOL is divided into four different units. Each one lasts one semester and entails a one-hour lecture and a two hour workshop (for parts 1 and 2). The workshop takes a maximum of 15 students, and is held every two weeks. In parts 3 and 4, it consists of a two hour class limited to 15 students.
