Course Summary
This qualification provides the practical skills and underpinning knowledge for an individual to offer basic training in English to speakers of other languages in the role of a teaching assistant or tutor, both in Australia and overseas.
Participants are provided with a broad knowledge of lesson planning and preparation, resource acquisition or development, and delivery techniques and methods.
On successful completion, TESOL learners will be able to assist EFL/ESL learners with pronunciation, speech and grammar, and assist children to learn English through the use of a wide range of activities.
Entry Requirements
Entry into Certificate III in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) is open to both senior high school students (specifically Years 11 and 12) and mature learners. All learners require the ability to read, write and speak in English fluently and accurately. For native English speakers, the required competencies are checked via a thorough one-on-one interview, completion of a formal written application form, and a resume outlining qualifications and experiences.
Non-native speakers will need to have an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score of at least 6.5 (Competent user). This means they can speak at length with minimal loss of coherence and minimal mispronunciation; they possess a wide enough vocabulary to discuss topics at length; they paraphrase successfully; frequently produce error-free sentences; and be understood throughout.
Pathways
Students who successfully complete the Certificate III in TESOL can articulate into the Certificate IV in TESOL. Participants can then pursue further studies in TESOL. Australia City College offers students practicum placements in China and South Korea for up to 4? months.
These programs meet the criteria for the practical component of the Certificates III and IV in TESOL, which is a minimum of six (6) hours. Although it is common for participants to join these programs it is not a mandated path and participants can gain both the Certificates III and IV without going overseas for classroom experience. Participants may transition to TAA40104 Certificate IV in Assessment and Workplace Training and obtain credit from the associated TAA units from this qualification.
Duration
Delivery consists of 5 days face-to-face (f-t-f) classroom training (28 hours). An activity and assessment book is to be completed self-paced as well as two distance learning units. It is expected that students will complete the Certificate III in TESOL within six months.
