The value of a language course

There’s no ifs or buts about it – language skills are highly in demand across all types of work. In our highly globalised world, employers are increasingly seeking candidates with the ability to speak more than one language, particularly when it comes to building relationships with partners in China, Japan, Indonesia and beyond.

In addition to foreign languages, English language skills are also essential to succeed in Australian work environments. International students may, therefore, wish to take an English course to improve their general English skills and their overall employability.

In addition to understanding the ins and outs of the English language, other popular language courses include Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Arabic, Greek, Korean, Russian, Thai, Indonesian and Portuguese.

Whether you wish to teach English as a second language, globalise your skillset or improve your English skills to take the IELTS, a language course is a perfect way of doing so.

Language course inclusions

Language learning involves developing a thorough understanding of theoretical and grammatical concepts as well as practical implementation.

If you are specialising in teaching, translating or interpreting fields of study, you will also cover professional codes of conduct and ethics. Work-based practicum is typically included as well.

All the skills learned are highly transferable, allowing you to work in almost any industry imaginable. From studying at a language school in the highly international cities of Melbourne and Sydney to taking classes online, language courses allow for a great degree of flexibility.

Language courses

From a full-time degree to part-time study options, there are a number of available language courses to consider depending on your career objectives. These include:

  • Certificate IV in TESOL

Language jobs

Whether you choose to specialise in the study of the English language or learn a foreign language, the career prospects are plentiful. Practically all employers will lean towards candidates with a strong grasp of the English language and additional language skills, although here are some specific career paths for those with language skills:

  • ESL Teacher
  • Linguist
  • Translator
  • Interpreter
  • Tourism Officer
  • Foreign Intelligence Officer
  • International Sales Manager
  • Foreign Correspondent

Developing your language skills will make you highly employable and set you apart from the competition in the challenging job market.

Better yet, this skill never ages, making a language course a long-term investment in your professional and personal development.
