Postgraduate study in TESOL

What can you study in TESOL?

If you already have experience in language teaching, the Master of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages will enable you to develop knowledge and skills for employment as a language teacher or in a more senior role.

The MTESOL programme consists of a combination of both online and on-campus courses. There is also the opportunity to include a dissertation.

Our new Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching Linguistically Diverse Learners and Postgraduate Diploma in Teaching Linguistically Diverse Learners programmes give teachers the skills to teach English language learners from diverse language backgrounds. These programmes are designed for teachers with two years’ relevant professional experience in a New Zealand early childhood centre, primary or secondary setting.
