The TESL Program focuses on training future educators to teach English as a Second Language (ESL) or English as a Foreign Language (EFL) professionally. Our instructors collaborate directly with students to enhance their comprehension of English linguistics, second language learning processes, and instructional techniques. We prepare educators to adopt student-focused, culturally aware teaching approaches that demand sensitivity to learners' requirements, insight into learning mechanisms, and proficiency in applying evidence-based language teaching strategies.
