Teaching English as a Second or Foreign/ESL Language

The TESOL post-masters, advanced certificate programs are designed to educate people who wish to teach students for whom English is a second or foreign language – either children or adolescents. The skill of teaching English to speakers of other languages is acquired through studying specialized methods and techniques that differ from those used by teachers of English to native speakers. This preparation is the focus of the programs in TESOL which also lead to certification in ESOL PreK-12.

• Program 2 (Academic Plan: TESFESL-AC) is for those with a master’s degree and prior NYS certification.
