About the course

The Master of TESOL prepares students to teach English as an Additional Language (EAL) across diverse educational contexts in Australia, internationally and online. The course integrates current TESOL theory with research-led practice and is taught by internationally recognised experts. Students can also explore professional experience/placement options and a capstone subject in the final semester, with potential international study opportunities.

What you might learn

Students develop specialised TESOL knowledge and practical teaching skills to plan, deliver and evaluate EAL learning for varied learner needs and settings. The program builds capability in applying contemporary language-teaching research to classroom practice and professional decision-making. It also supports the development of reflective, adaptable educators prepared for a range of TESOL environments.

Career outcome

Graduates can pursue TESOL/EAL teaching roles in Australia and globally, including language schools, migrant language centres and bridging or pathway programs for international students. Qualified/registered teachers may apply their TESOL expertise in mainstream school contexts where EAL support is required. The degree also supports career progression into EAL curriculum support, language program coordination and education-focused roles across diverse learning environments.

Entry requirements
