Overview

Train to teach English as a second language in a variety of settings or as a foreign language abroad.

Key Features

With the Teaching English as a Second Language programme from The University of Arizona, you gain advanced knowledge in the theory and practices of teaching, learning and language; the contexts of teaching and learning; and professional and practical experience.

Thanks to the programme's small size - annual cohorts never exceed 12 people - you will enjoy one-on-one instruction from professors who are leading experts in fields such as socio-cognitive approaches to second language acquisition, second language writing, classroom discourse analysis and technology-enhanced language teaching.

Career

About a third of our graduates go on to Ph.D. studies at universities around the United States and the world. Some are accepted into the Graduate Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Programme in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching (SLAT).

Another third of the M.A. graduates secure employment as adult ESL instructors in the United States, for example at intensive English programmes or at community education centers. Another third teach English as a foreign language outside of the United States. Job opportunities are plentiful, especially in East Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.
