Diploma in Applied Linguistics

The Diploma in Applied Linguistics is a one-year program for individuals who already have a Bachelor's degree and wish to specialize in teaching English or other additional languages. The diploma provides a balance of theoretical and practical learning. This includes courses in pedagogical approaches and methods, as well as a 20-hour language teaching practicum at a Victoria-area school.
