BA in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages

Eastern Michigan University

The Bachelor of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is designed for students who want to engage with international populations in the US or abroad. It is rooted in a desire to communicate with people from different languages and cultural backgrounds from the dual perspective of teachers who wish to serve international sojourners in the US and those who want to journey abroad to engage with students in their home cultures. It is meant to improve the teaching and learning of English as an additional language, encourage reciprocal communication between people worldwide, and promote global citizenship. A major in TESOL will allow you to enter a career teaching English to speakers of other languages in the US or abroad or work in related fields such as language testing and assessment, publishing, or non-profit organizations.
