The Master of Science in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Program is a 33-credit program of required courses, including 50 hours of field experience embedded throughout our courses, and one supervised student teaching experience. This program is designed to strengthen teachers' capacities to provide effective instruction to a diverse student body. As such, all courses emphasize implications of culture and language diversity for learning and society. Courses address theory and practice of multicultural education, second language acquisition, methods and materials of teaching English as a second language, psycho-sociolinguistics, curriculum development, and assessment of general education and special education students whose native language is not English.

Courses are offered both in the classroom and online. Advisors assist students in developing a suitable course of study based on their educational backgrounds, current work assignments, and career goals. After completing all program requirements, students are eligible for New York State certification as TESOL teachers, Pre-kindergarten - Grade 12.

The TESOL program is appropriate for content area teachers PK-12 who are NYS certified and would like to pursue a certificate in TESOL.
