Diploma in TESOL

The Diploma in TESOL is specifically targeted at those who are interested in teaching English as a second or foreign language. Preferably, students should have a degree-equivalent qualification. However, students with at least high school or GCE 'O' level-equivalent qualification will also be considered. The most important consideration is that students must be fluent in both oral and written English at proficiency level.

You are assigned a personal tutor as soon as you enrol, who will give you help and guidance through the course as well as mark your assignments and give you personal feedback.

By course completion, students will:

* understand how language is acquired
* understand what constitutes errors in a language
* know the principles on which modern language teaching is based
* understand what phonetic and phonology are
* know which methodologies can be used to teach English
* know how to use materials and aids to teach English inthe class
* know how to organise the class
* know how to design lesson plans

Grading

Students who are awarded Grade C, Pass, have completed the course satisfactorily. They have attained an adequate standard in each of the four modules, and have shown they have assimilated the basic principles of TESOL.

Students who are awarded Grade B, Pass with Credit, have shown in addition that they have read more widely than the course requires, and that they are able to relate the theoretical issues studied to practical teaching situations.

Students who are awarded Grade A, Pass with Distinction, have demonstrated considerable further reading, an ability to express original thinking, and have proved to have a sound knowledge of TESOL techniques. They have also indicated an attitude and ability to be able to apply these techniques effectively in the classroom.

Structure

The course contains four modules. You can work at your own pace when you have time and therefore have control over how long you will take to finish the course and earn your Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.

The course is complete in itself and you do not need to buy any other materials. However, many students, particularly if they are trying for high grades, chose to undertake a certain amount of further reading from the suggested booklist.

You will need approximately 45 hours to complete each module including the assignments. Each module has two assignments that you must complete and send to your tutor by e-mail or post. Your tutor will mark and grade your work. The modules also have self correcting exercises along with the answer key and accompanying notes to help you see your own progress on the course.

You can e-mail or write to your personal tutor as often as you need to. Your tutor will do his or her best to reply to you the same or following day. If your assignment needs to be improved your tutor will make helpful suggestions. You can submit each assignment up to three times without further payment. If after the third attempt your work is still below a pass grade of C a small charge will be made to cover the additional administrative cost of marking your work.
The course includes reading, setting tasks, self-correcting exercises and written assignments.

On completion of your course, you will receive two qualifications:

Qualification 1: LTTC Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages

(Dip TESOL issued by The London Teacher Training College.)
