About the course

The TESOL Program offers a four course, 16-credit graduate certificate that prepares future teachers of English to speakers of other languages. Students are exposed to a theoretical introduction to the nature and structure of language, key factors affecting second-language acquisition, and communicative approaches to the teaching of English as a second or foreign language. This certificate is most appropriate for those who already hold advanced degrees, individuals making mid-career changes, and those who are already volunteering or working in this field.
