Graduate Diploma in
Language Teaching

(GradDipLangTeach)

Program of Study

INTRODUCTION

The Graduate Diploma in Language Teaching is a 36-unit program for qualified teachers offered by the Faculty of Education, Humanities, Law and Theology and, in the case of Indonesian, by the Faculty of Social Sciences, on a Commonwealth Supported basis.

It is also available via flexible delivery for students outside Adelaide or with special needs. International students who are residing outside Australia may also undertake the course in the external mode.

COURSE AIMS

The course provides the opportunity for practising school teachers to acquire proficiency in a second language and to gain a LOTE teaching qualification. It also assists graduates to become competent and effective LOTE teachers by providing training in LOTE teaching methodology and the use of LOTE resources and knowledge of the culture and society of the target-language country.

The course is designed for teachers who have limited or no knowledge of the chosen target language (French, Italian, Modern Greek, Spanish or Indonesian) and who intend to become LOTE teachers in that language.

COURSE RULE

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Applicants must normally hold an approved degree or equivalent qualification from a tertiary institution, be eligible for registration as a teacher in Australia, and have had at least one year's teaching experience in a school or other approved institution. However, the Faculty Board may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.
