Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)

In the United States, the need for well-prepared language teachers is constant. Teachers are more likely than ever to have the opportunity to teach students who come from a variety of cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
The Department of English offers students the opportunity to obtain a certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). This is a 15-hour/5-course certificate. Normally, students are able to complete the certificate requirements within three or four semesters.
The TESOL faculty have designed the certificate to help students get up to speed on language theory and pedagogy. Youll start with ENGL 3610 Introduction to Linguistics, which sets the foundation for upper-division courses. Then, youll learn specifics about the English language so that you can explain sounds, words, sentences, and meanings to your students. In addition, youll study theories about how adults learn languages as well as strategies for teaching language and designing curriculum.
