Overview

Key Features

As the world becomes increasingly more global, so has the demand for people to learn how to collaborate, connect, and communicate with one another.

If you want to travel the world, or make a difference right here in the U.S., teaching English is an important area of instruction that’s in high (and growing) demand. A related growth area is Bilingual and Dual Language Immersion, where students learn content through both their native language and a target language.

The M.A. program in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and/or Bilingual Dual Language Immersion (BDL) is designed for students who are either certified to teach in public schools, or who are enrolled concurrently in a Teacher Certification Program, or who want to teach English abroad.

The TESOL - Bilingual Dual Language Immersion program at University of Rhode Island has three tracks, with emphasis on:

Public school English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL),

Public school Bilingual Dual Language Immersion (BDL), or

Education in a range of settings outside of public schools, including international settings.

This is primarily an online program that will provide you with the knowledge, skills and dispositions necessary to develop the language proficiency of individuals learning English as a second language, and for those seeking bi-literacy in English plus an additional language. The program is also designed to help you to work collaboratively with other professionals to plan and implement high quality educational services.
