Introduction to TESOL

TESOL covers all courses which focus on Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.

English is the dominant international language of the 21st century, it is spoken at a useful level by some 1.75 billion people - a quarter of the world’s population. As the language of communications, science, information technology, business, entertainment and diplomacy, it has increasingly become the operating system for global conversation.

English is the most studied language in the world, according to the British Council, over 2 billion people across the globe are currently learning English. There is a universal desire and need for people to learn the English language as it provides a strong competitive edge in all fields. This has opened a robust job market for travelling teachers - language is the key to connecting with people and understanding their cultures. The skills you will develop through the study of language and linguistics are in demand across countless industries in our increasingly globalised world.
