There are seven programs to choose from in the TESL/TEFL (Teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language), each designed to accommodate different students' goals.
In all of these programs, you will learn both the theoretical and practical aspects of teaching students who are learning English in the United States or who are studying English as a foreign language in another country. Students gain relevant experience through supervised practicums (practice teaching) and have the opportunity to teach in a variety of ESL/EFL contexts.
The Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) programs train students to teach effectively while drawing on a solid theoretical foundation.
