🏫 Adelaide Research Institute (ARI)
ARI’s 10657NAT Graduate Diploma of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages is a postgraduate program designed to give primary, secondary and tertiary teachers of language up to date skills and knowledge. The course challenges traditional language teaching methods with the application of functional linguistics in the text -based model of teaching.
Our student Emma (the right in the picture) has some great words to say about our TESOL program:
“As an English teacher I wanted to further develop my skills as I began working predominately with students learning English as a second language. I wanted to ensure that I was able to wholly support them in understanding all the different features of English they would need in the classroom and in their daily lives. The Graduate Diploma of TESOL, which applies Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics, has provided me with a wealth of knowledge in my approach to teaching both English as an Additional Language and English Literature. It has given me greater awareness and understanding of the grammar, vocabulary and discourse structure of texts and to design language focused curriculum that further support students in their literacy development. This course has also allowed me to better support my colleagues who teach English language learners in their classroom and to give them the tools to design curriculum that develops their knowledge and literacy. I highly recommend the Graduate Diploma in TESOL at the Adelaide Research Institute to both prospective and experienced teachers wanting to further develop their literacy teaching skills.”
