About this program
The Graduate Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages at the University of Sydney draws on the latest research to examine the theoretical basis of key issues in the sociocultural contexts of second language education. Students complete 48 credit points across core, selective and optional elective units, gaining insights that apply directly to daily teaching practice.
The course suits teaching professionals, education leaders, researchers and policymakers building TESOL expertise, though it does not itself lead to a recognised teaching qualification. It sits within the University's broader postgraduate educational studies program.
