lenght of the courses. Are you interested in TESOL?
If so, let me know and i can give you more details.
Talk to you later!!
sure Actually, I go to school in TX, USA (Undergraduate)
I have 3 more semesters to graduate. I am thinking getting my master's for TESOL. and I found out that there is only one school in TX which has TESOL program.
But Since I have lived in TX more than 6years(since high school), I want to live in other English-speaking country such as Canada or Austarilia. Those are the my option for my TESOL program.
My major is Speech-language pathology/Audiology
but eventually, I like to work with students and become an English teacher. TESOL is the nationwide certified thing so I am interested in TESOL program alot.
If you can give me some information I would appreciate it.
Sure, like i mentioned before, TESOL is a course for
anyone who would like to be a English teacher to
non-English speakers. Basically, communication skills
will be taught because it helps the students to
understand the difference of their native culture and
the others. TESOL aims at teaching people to communicate
with the students, teaching English in a efficient way,
and maing sure every students receive the message and
helping them to fully learn the language as well as the
culture!!
since there are many students coming from all around the
world in australia, therefore, there are practically
many chances for making use of the skills by actually
teaching the international students. plus the nature
is beautiful!! Well, think about it, if you have more
questions, just talk to me and we'll figure it out!!
PEACE OUT!!
