TESOL & Second Language Acquisition
Offered at IU Bloomington by College of Arts and Sciences
About
The Certificate in TESOL and Second Language Acquisition provides undergraduate students with a rigorous introduction to research on the ways in which speakers of one language acquire another. It also acquaints students with the ways in which second-language teaching can facilitate this process.
Coursework for the certificate allows you to explore scientific models of linguistic structure and relate them to your own experiences as a language learner. It further provides guidance on practical issues that arise in teaching English to adult speakers of other languages. For this reason, the certificate is particularly appropriate for students who are considering work abroad as teachers of English to adult learners.
