Graduate Diploma in Language Teaching

  • Objectives 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.

    * be able to demonstrate a mid intermediate-level of language proficiency (Beginners stream) or low advanced level of proficiency (Advanced stream) in a chosen language;
