IDEA AND REFLECTIONS

If you’re interested in finding out more about Extensive Reading, the place to go is the Extensive Reading Foundation. (OK, not Australian, but the place to go for ‘all about ER’.)


BECOMING AN ESOL TEACHER (adult)

Some very useful information at  VICTESOL. Courses like CELTA are terrific for teaching overseas, or for teaching international students at colleges in Australia. However,  to teach migrant English in the AMEP you may well need a postgraduate TESOL qualification, as well as the Cert IV in Training and Assessment. For the latest updates from local providers, why not post a query on the Facebook pages for either the Adult Adult ESOL Interest Group or AusELT. Schools have their own requirements.
