Program Overview
Teachers of English as a Second Language generally
work with immigrants and foreign nationals living in
English-speaking countries. TESOL teachers need special
preparation to meet the unique challenges in settings
where students have had some exposure to English
but are still struggling. UCSC Extension Silicon Valley
offers a specialized sequence of courses in linguistics
and education to prepare instructors to enter the
TESOL field. The program provides teachers with the
knowledge, strategies, and practice they need to feel
comfortable teaching English classes to students of
various levels and backgrounds. Join the hundreds
of students who have completed this certificate
and gone on to rewarding careers.
