Our non-certification TESOL program is for individuals who are interested in teaching in higher education settings or internationally. If you are interested in pre-k-6 TESOL and looking to obtain initial certification to teach in New York State, check out our CEC program with a TESOL track here. If you are interested in pre-k-12 TESOL and already hold New York State certification to teach, check out our advanced TESOL program here or our advanced TESOL CR ITI program here. |
Whether you are a globetrotter who is passionate about education or a certified teacher who wants to expand your professional repertoire, the Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) graduate programs at Binghamton University can help meet your needs.
The Master of Arts (MA) in TESOL enables graduates to teach in English as a Second/Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) programs in higher education settings (colleges or universities) in the U.S. or across the globe.
This program is also suitable for international students who wish to be involved in English education around the world, such as adult EFL programs in higher education or various private English programs. We offer diverse learning environments where students from China, El Salvador, Colombia, Korea and American students share their own experience and develop their academic knowledge and professional skills.
The TESOL program is now offering a new international practicum experience through the EPIK (English Program in Korea) Plus program. This program is a paid learning opportunity for individuals interested in teaching English in Korea. Please check here for more details.
