We
invite
you to explore
a world of possibilities
|
There
is a growing demand within Washington State and around the
world for trained professionals to teach English to speakers
of other languages. Western Washington University's TESOL
Program strives
to provide the interdisciplinary knowledge
and hands-on experience teachers need in order to be
successful in the classroom.
|
Students
pursue
TESOL training
for various reasons
- Many are already school teachers and are feeling the
increasing challenge of dealing with students who speak limited
English
- A number are seeking state certification to add
TESOL
to their areas of endorsement because it expands their job
opportunities within the school systems
- Some plan to work in state and local programs for non-English
speaking immigrants or migrant workers, some in
the growing number of community college classes set up
for these groups
- Others hope to teach in intensive English programs for
international students visiting this country to improve their
English skills
- Some work in settings that are culturally and linguistically
diverse, and seek ways to improve their
communication
skills
- Others are international students who plan to teach,
or continue to teach, in their respective countries upon their
return
- Over half hope to find teaching positions overseas
immediately after finishing the program or later in their careers
