Courses in education are crucial for developing teaching skills and preparing for a career in the education sector. They help students gain knowledge and understand principles and theories related to learning, skill development and effective teaching methods. Especially, for TESOL students, who will receive training to teach English to speakers of other languages, a valuable skill on a global scale. 

What will you study in Education / TESOL? 

Education courses enhance knowledge, analytical skills, and understanding of learning processes. They cover essential teaching skills, including curriculum design, classroom management, interaction with students of different age groups and educational levels, as well as handling diverse classroom situations. 

TESOL, or Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, is a program designed to teach English to non-native speakers. This course enhances skills and knowledge in effective English language teaching for those learning it as a second or foreign language, opening opportunities for work both domestically and internationally. 

What skills will you acquire from studying Education & TESOL? 

Interpersonal skills often referred to as social skills, encompass emotional intelligence, effective communication, active listening, empathy, problem-solving and leadership. These are essential for life and career, especially in the field of education. 

Lifelong learning skills are crucial in today’s rapidly changing environment. Students must continuously develop their knowledge, seek information, and explore new teaching methods such as online teaching, interactive boards, learning management systems, or even emerging technologies like the Metaverse. 

Creative thinking skills are necessary for designing and presenting lessons that are engaging and suitable for diverse groups of learners. This involves developing activities that enhance skills and knowledge and maintaining a fun, safe and non-boring learning environment.
