Presentación

This course is for you if you are looking to gain a nationally recognised qualification to teach either English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), in further, adult or community education or other post-compulsory settings.

On the Professional Graduate Certificate in Education (ESOL) course you will gain the skills, knowledge and understanding required for teaching students over the age of 16. At the University, you will develop your understanding of your chosen specialism including knowledge of key questions, theories and concepts as well as the development of your own personal skills. For a substantial part of the course you will study in a specialist group. At other times you will study in a larger group, alongside those planning to teach other subjects at post-16 (from leisure and tourism to music technology and beyond).

Committed teachers of ESOL can really make a difference to learners’ lives and the communities they live in. Developing skills and confidence in spoken and written English can open doors to further learning and better employment prospects.

Programa

You will deepen your understanding of ESOL, as a subject area. You will develop a range of learning and teaching methods and an understanding of the diverse needs of learners. You will consider how the theories of learning and assessment can be applied to the teaching of your subject and will be encouraged to analyse and critique policies and practices relating to the teaching of your subject, and to develop your own considered approach to teaching ESOL.

You are encouraged to take responsibility for planning and managing your professional experiences and progress, with the guidance of your personal tutor and workplace mentor. The placement in one of our partner colleges in South Wales, or in a community education or similar setting, is a central feature of the course, where you can develop professionally as an ESOL teacher with the support of an experienced subject specialist.

Salidas profesionales

The qualification is recognised nationally as the requirement for teachers entering the post-compulsory sector, a very wide field that includes further education, adult and community education, work-based learning and the work of many voluntary and community development organisations.

The School of Education’s large MA programme offers a variety of routes for further, advanced study including the MA Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and the MA Leadership and Management (PcET).
