About the course

The Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) provides students a strong foundation in language acquisition, use, and pedagogy. We offer our students a strong foundation in theory with numerous opportunities for gaining practical teaching experience and developing individual research agendas.

　　Our program supports study abroad opportunities with a focus on service learning in numerous countries, including Spain, Mexico, and China. Our successful graduates have received Fulbright English Teaching Assistant scholarships, English Language Fellowships, and obtained positions teaching overseas and here in the United States. Our faculty work hard to support our students as they develop their scholarship and teaching skills in preparation for a successful career in TESOL.

　　Because UCF offers a PhD in Education with a specialty in TESOL, students can begin their TESOL career at the undergraduate level and continue to a terminal degree at the doctoral level here on campus. We also offer an undergraduate TEFL Certificate, a graduate TEFL Certificate, and the Florida ESOL Endorsement. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
