What do I need to know about the new specialist TESOL units EDLI502 and EDLI504?
The two units EDLI502 and EDLI504 are being offered jointly by Linguistics and Education hence the EDLI label. The units will be on offer in Semester 1 (EDLI502) and Semester 2 (EDLI504) each year. They can be done in different years if you want to, with the proviso that EDLI502 must be completed before EDLI504, i.e. EDLI502 is a pre-requisite for EDLI504. EDLI502 involves coursework which focuses on TESOL methodology and covers roughly two thirds of the textbook. EDLI504 involves half coursework further exploring TESOL methodology and covering the final third of the textbook. The other half of this unit is comprised of a 60-hour supervised practicum placement. For information on Teaching accreditation see FAQ 13.3.
