Course description
This course allows students to teach in the secondary or adult education sectors, providing them with a longer and richer period of teacher training than a Bachelor of Arts/Diploma of Education combination. The course includes subjects in teaching methods and education theory and provides in-school teaching experience. Students engage in educational related studies while developing their knowledge in the humanities disciplines.
Course structure
First year comprises foundation studies. Students concentrate on two humanities and social sciences disciplines acceptable as teaching methods, such as drama, English (which can include linguistics), English as a Second Language (ESL), history, humanities, Languages Other Than English (LOTE) and media studies methods. In second and third year, students enrol in Arts and Education subjects that include supervised teaching rounds. In the final year, students undertake the more intensive teacher-training component.
Contact hours
Approximately 12 to 15 contact hours per week if studying full-time.
