About the course

The demand for people who can teach English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) and English as a foreign language (EFL) is growing, both in the United States and abroad. People of all ages need to become proficient in English and are looking for opportunities to learn English in many different contexts ? including schools and universities abroad, specialized language schools, adult programs, and even daycare centers. While there may be no required credentials for ESOL/EFL teachers outside of U.S. K-12 public schools, the quality of their preparation matters. At Warner, we prepare teachers who find innovative ways to make learning English fun, meaningful, authentic, and relevant to students from every background. Through coursework and field experiences, our graduate students deepen their understanding of the English language, linguistics, and language acquisition while learning innovative and effective ways to teach this growing population. Our program aims to prepare teachers who understand that learning English includes communicative competence, cultural expertise, and mastery of the structural complexities of the English language. Students become ESOL or EFL teachers who know how to create and adapt curricula and classroom instruction around authentic materials, contexts, and purposes that engage students in the English language.
