Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages

A TESOL qualification at The University of Waikato provides dedicated pathways for both new and experienced teachers.

You will develop the knowledge and skills needed to teach English to speakers of other languages, with the option to choose a teaching practice paper which puts you in the classroom, micro-teaching with peers and formal teaching with learners.

You can choose papers in applied linguistics, second language acquisition and education theory, and choose from a diverse range of electives that recognise the potential career pathways our graduates will pursue.

Students will engage with and undertake TESOL-related research, completing both research methods and research report papers.
