Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages - Montclair State University

Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages from Montclair State University is a Campus Certificate Teaching degree that prepares you for a Education career. Program Objectives The objective of this certification program is to provide an opportunity for students to obtain credentials in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). This program of study is distinct from the program leading to state certification in TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) and is designed to appeal to students whose career plans do not include teaching in public schools in the United States. This program is especially appropriate for teachers of English from other countries for whom exposure to native speakers of English, acquaintance with North American culture and a certificate from a North American university will considerably strengthen their credentials. The certificate will also appeal to international students who are planning to return to their home countries to teach English as a foreign language. The program also attracts residents of the US who are interested in teaching in non-public-school venues in the United States or in educational institutions in other countries. This program prepares students in TESOL through a course of study designed to provide a background in the principles of linguistics and language education along with an understanding of the classroom applications of these principles. These experiences culminate in a practicum in teaching ESL on campus or in another appropriate site off-campus. For students beginning in the fall semester, the program is designed to be completed in two semesters of full-time work. View more details on Montclair State University .
