The TESOL major provides specialized instruction in the theory and skills of
teaching second language acquisition, equipping students to change the world in
a tangible way. The TESOL curriculum includes a rigorous core that covers
language/linguistics, language acquisition, TESL/TEFL theory, assessment practices,
and cultural awareness and experience. Graduates with a TESOL major should be
prepared to teach English to adult speakers of other languages around the world.
