Scholarship / Teaching English language (Australia Award Scholarship) Master Degree in TESOL [3]
As I was interested in teaching English language, I joined to attend Post Graduate Diploma in Multi-media Arts( Education) at Yangon Institute of Education after graduation. The government posted me to serve as a Junior Assistant Teacher at a Basic Education High School after completing this diploma. At that school, I taught Computer and English to the young learners and could upgrade their English and Computer Skills.
After four years later, I transferred to Sittwe District Education Office as an assistant computer operator. In my free time, I taught English to young learners as a private teacher. But, I want to learn higher level in English in order to give better education to my students. And I am seeking advanced-level knowledge of the context, purpose and role of assessment and evaluation in education. So, I need to study Teaching to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) , dynamic, global profession. In addition, I would like to exchange cultures and study English language with international students together. I believe that this course will be advantageous for teaching English language and will help us to understand the connections between theory and practice, as well as to know the importance of developing strong principles of practice in English language and teaching. Besides, TESOL will give us the qualifications needed to teach English as a second language.
To study this course, I chose University of Canberra, a young university with fresh perspective on education at only 30 years old. This university is renowned specialists in sports, education and health. UC also ranks highly for students support, learning resources and skills development. Besides, it is based on the progressive and vibrant capital of Australia, Canberra. It is known for its international outlook, innovation, safety, inclusivity and progressive nature. It also has the lowest unemployment rate in Australia and offers a lower cost of living than other major cities in the country. So, I choose this university to study TESOL.
