TESOL证书作为一项国际英语教师的职业资格证书，TESOL已经被国际上80多个国家的5000多所学校认可，并在全世界拥有近百个团体会员和14000多名专业人士。在北美、英国、澳大利亚、新西兰等英语国家，大部分学校和语言培训机构都认可TESOL证书。目前，已经有包括中国在内的80多个国家和地区开设了TESOL课程。今天金东方留学就来为大家分享澳大利亚留学TESOL专业介绍。
TESOL的课程概况
TESOL的课程因大学的不同而有所差异，我们可以把几所比较有名的大学的TESOL课程做比较，发现他们的共同之处：虽然这些学校的课程都有所差别，但他们都强调理论与实践的结合，语言和文化环境的适应，尊重理论却源于课堂，希望学生可以学以致用。这样的课程与单纯的学习语言学，文学和教育学的模式形成了强烈的对比。
