Graduates can teach English to adult overseas students in the English Language Teaching (ELT or ELICOS) sector in Australia. Depending on prior qualifications, they can teach different courses at different institutions. For example, registered teachers can work as EAL/D (English as an Additional language or Dialect) specialists in Australian schools. Many registered teachers of other disciplines complete the program to assist them in teaching international students. Our graduates have been also employed in various roles which require intercultural and linguistic awareness, for example, diplomacy, international business or corporate and humanitarian multinational organisations. Globally, our graduates work in numerous capacities as ESL educators at all levels, teaching students of all ages, as educational consultants, and policy makers.
