Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (Birth to Five Years) at Australian Catholic University ACU

This course is designed for ready-qualified teachers wishing to add English as an Additional Language (EAL) as a specialised area. It's for teachers looking to deepen their current skills and equip them with the principles and approaches to teaching TESOL - including curriculum design and evaluation. If you're interested in completing the full Master of TESOL with us. If you're looking to explore teaching English as an additional language, the Graduate Certificate is an excellent entry to this field. At MGSE, you'll be taught by a number of internationally recognised education experts. As students of MGSE researchers, you'll experience research-led learning, focusing on concepts and findings, sometimes even before publishing. Alongside being taught by thought-leaders in this field, the course has been built for practical application in the real world, so you can return to teaching with the skills in place.

The global demand for English language teachers, especially in China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, and across the Middle East, means those with the ability to teach English to speakers of other languages are sought after. The Graduate Certificate of TESOL is designed for prospective teachers wishing to teach English to speakers of other languages. It will prepare you for a variety of language teaching contexts in Australia and overseas. It integrates current theory and practice of TESOL, including teaching methodologies, programming and planning, and linguistics for language teaching. A range of language learners is considered, varying by age, social and cultural backgrounds.

When children are exposed to positive educational experiences prior to school, their learning capabilities - and in turn their chances of excelling in school - are greatly improved. Macquarie has a strong reputation and long history in early childhood teaching and research, and you'll be taught by active researchers in early childhood. The Graduate Certificate of Early Childhood will develop your understanding of contemporary research-based early childhood principles and practice in selected areas. On successful completion, it offers an opportunity for students with an Australian bachelor degree or equivalent in a discipline other than early childhood education, to qualify for entry into Macquarie's master degrees in early childhood education.
