The Graduate Certificate in K12 Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) equips K12 educators to instruct ESL courses and more effectively support English Learners (ELs) currently in K12 classrooms. This program targets individuals who already hold a Michigan teaching certification and seek this additional specialization. Through the Graduate K12 TESL Certificate curriculum, teachers will gain insights into the linguistic and cultural challenges faced by non-native English speakers. With TESL knowledge and skills, instructors can address these issues competently, assisting students from diverse language backgrounds to participate more fully in classroom learning.

Qualification Requirements
Official transcripts providing evidence of an earned baccalaureate degree from an accredited U.S. institution, OR a degree equivalent to a four-year U.S. baccalaureate degree from a college or university of government-recognized standing.
Official transcripts for all post-secondary educational institutions from which the applicant earned a degree (beginning with the first baccalaureate) and for all enrollment in graduate-level coursework beyond the bachelor's degree.
As part of the admission requirements, graduate programs may require official transcripts from post-secondary educational institutions from which the applicant earned an associate's degree and all enrollment in coursework both pre- and post-bachelor's degree.
International university transcripts must be evaluated by a professional credential evaluation service. Oakland University will only accept transcript evaluations completed by a NACES (National Association of Credential Evaluation service) member organization. Many applicants use World Educational Services (WES) or Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE). NACES membership can be confirmed by visiting www.naces.org/members.htm. Graduate programs requiring more detailed information may require an applicant to submit a course-by-course (or detailed) evaluation report rather than the general evaluation report. Official foreign transcripts will not be required by Oakland University since official transcripts must be submitted to and verified by the evaluation service. However, applicants must submit photocopies of their foreign transcripts with their application materials.
Two official and original Recommendation for Graduate Admission forms.
The department will consider applicants who hold a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution and whose credentials, including transcripts and two letters of recommendation, give evidence of academic distinction.
Applicants must explain, in a statement of purpose, their reasons for wishing to pursue the TESL Endorsement.
A grade-point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) in undergraduate work is ordinarily the minimum standard for admission.
IELTS - 6.5, TOEFL iBT (internet) - 79, PTE (academic) - 53
