A Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages program is designed to provide students with the skills to be an effective teacher. TESOL subjects may include linguistics for teachers, grammar, methods and assessment and language acquisition.

Australia has a subsidized higher education for students pursuing the undergraduate degrees. They also give loan and grants for the post graduate students. Higher learning starts at undergraduate degree level to a doctoral degree offered in any field of study.

A master’s program is a focused degree that requires about two years of classwork, research, and possibly a thesis paper to earn. This advanced program of study allows students to further specialize their schooling in an area that interests them.
