A Teaching English as a Foreign Language certificate program equips participants with fundamental competencies for instructing English abroad. While similar to TESOL certification, TEFL specifically targets teaching English in non-native environments, tackling unique classroom dynamics and learning obstacles. The curriculum comprises four specialized courses plus practical training, covering linguistic principles, cultural awareness, teaching methodologies, and hands-on experience. Available to all majors and non-degree seekers who've completed ENG 2100, the program requires maintaining a 3.0 GPA across all courses for certification. Prospective candidates can obtain additional details by consulting their academic advisor or the TESOL program director.
