Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Emphasis

TESOL Emphasis — BA English

Catalog 2022 - 2024    
Discontinued (2023-01-01)

About

With the preeminent position of English as a global language, numerous international opportunities exist for teachers with a practical understanding of linguistics, intercultural communication, and theories of second language acquisition. The teaching of English also provides an unparalleled platform for ministry, especially in contexts where formal missionary opportunities are limited or unavailable.

Since TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) is an emphasis within the English major, students will also be equipped for a number of other careers that require the ability to think analytically and creatively and communicate effectively. With its emphasis on cross-cultural communication, the TESOL emphasis serves as an excellent starting point for students aiming at careers in areas such as international business, non-profit and development, human resources, civil service, international and immigration law.
