With an increasingly global society comes an increasing need for a common understanding of English as the language of commerce, and its relationship to other global languages.

This program in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) provides graduate students with a solid foundation in the English language and offers strategies, firmly grounded in research, theory, and practice to teach ESL/EFL in the US, or teach EFL internationally.

Participants will learn the best practices of ESL/EFL (English as a Second Language/English as a Foreign Language) methodology through a combination of lecture, practicum, reflection, observation, and hands-on classroom experience. Whether participants want to teach overseas or work with immigrant populations in the USA, this graduate certificate program will provide them with the combination of theoretical and practical training to teach English to speakers of other languages in international arenas.
