In addition to the M.A. in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and the Licensure Plus M.A.T. in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, Greensboro College offers six unique graduate certificates, designed to allow for specialization within the broader field of TESOL. These 12-graduate semester-hour programs lead to specialized Certificates in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, not to a degree, and are designed to prepare candidates to teach English to speakers of other languages in a variety of professional contexts.
The 12-hour Certificate also enables candidates who already have a Master of Arts degree in another field such as English to seek employment at post-secondary institutions. The required coursework covers language teaching methodology, the nature of language, the structure of English, second language acquisition, intercultural communication, and, in some cases, a practicum experience.
The 12 graduate semester-hours required for the certificates may be applied toward the M.A. in TESOL at Greensboro College. Note: The certificate is not equivalent to the M.A. or M.A.T. degree, nor does the certificate carry teaching licensure.
Note: When you register for the last class in your certificate program, download this application for certificate, fill it out, and return it to [email protected] to ensure you receive your certificate in timely fashion. Thanks!
