Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, Certificate
The Graduate TESOL Certificate is designed to enhance students’ knowledge of the core issues, theories, approaches, and techniques in teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL). The Certificate will enable students to acquire initial certification for working with adult English language learners, which, coupled with a bachelor’s degree, will qualify them for entry-level teaching positions in English as a second language (ESL) and English as a foreign language (EFL) for both domestic and global markets. The Certificate will also serve as an introduction to TESOL as an academic and professional career track, enabling students to have an efficient and streamlined pathway to the MA TESOL.
