Bachelor of education (TESL) (HONS)

English is the lingua franca for commerce, science, communications and technology. Most of the world’s knowledge is stored in this language. Malaysians have an advantage in developing these fields if they are familiar with the language in which the greatest amount of research is written. In countries where English is not the mother tongue like Malaysia, learning English has become not only necessary but essential.

alumni's testimonials

Marie-Anne Thiang
I enrolled into this course with zero expectations. As a mature student, all I wanted was a degree so that I could get on with my life. However, I left with a degree, lifelong friends and valuable learning and teaching experiences that would carry me through my teaching career. Today, I’m employed as an English language teacher in a prestigious international school in Malaysia. What a blessing!
Aung Myint @ Alvin
Pursuing the BEd TESL at HELP University was the right choice as it shaped me into an effective English language teacher. Throughout my learning journey in HELP, I was properly guided, encouraged and provided with constructive feedback by experienced and qualified academicians. Today, I see myself as a confident and competent English Language Teacher. Last but not least, I’d like to leave with this quote 'Teaching is the best master of learning'.
Junny Ei Mon That
The valuable skills and knowledge that I gained from the MEd TESL programme at HELP University allow me to participate and contribute to Human Resource Development and Capacity Building work in Myanmar. I sincerely enjoyed the experience of studying in HELP University. I had opportunities to learn innovative teaching techniques and methodologies, leadership skills and hands-on experiences from dedicated lecturers and professors. For teachers and educators who wish to take their career to the next level, MEd TESL is the best option.
