About the course

CSUEB?s M.A. TESOL program provides students with a strong generalist preparation to work with adult English learners while still allowing students to explore particular specialties, such as general linguistics or composition studies. The program is organized around a cohort model which helps to create a strong sense of connection between classmates. There are eight required classes (28 units) as well as a departmental thesis (2 units). Most students complete the program in two academic years. CSUEB?s M.A. TESOL program provides students with a strong generalist preparation to work with adult English learners while still allowing students to explore particular specialties, such as general linguistics or composition studies. Compared with larger M.A. TESOL programs around the Bay Area, CSUEB?s program has small classes where students receive a lot of individualized attention. When students work on their thesis projects before graduation, they work with professors who are specialists in different areas of TESOL, composition, sociolinguistics, and general linguistics. CSUEB?s program is organized around a cohort model which helps to create a strong sense of connection between classmates. Because our M.A. TESOL students are diverse in age, academic preparation, ethnic and linguistic backgrounds, and teaching experiences, they create a vibrant community of passionate peers who share valuable knowledge and experiences with each other in and out of the classroom. This community of learners creates many opportunities to explore different possibilities in teaching. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
