The M.A. in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) develops the academic and practical skills and abilities of educators in kindergarten through adult settings. Successful candidates acquire expertise in English as a second or foreign language and experiences in conducting professional development in the area of language teaching and learning. For candidates who already hold a teaching credential, some courses may be applicable to the California Crosscultural, Language and Academic Development (CLAD) certificate, as reflected in the California Teachers of English Learners state-approved standards. Competency in a non-English language is not required.
This two-year program follows a cohort model in a specified sequence of 33 semester hours and culminates with either a comprehensive examination or a thesis option. The thesis option must meet approval of the program director and follow the School of Education guidelines.
