Program Learning Outcomes
The purpose of the TESOL program is to prepare students to confidently teach English to speakers of other languages within a variety of settings (e.g. ESL, EFL, school, business) and to a variety of student populations (e.g. children, adolescents, adults). In order to accomplish this, we believe students need training in three broad areas: knowledge, experience, and professional identity. The TESOL program learning outcomes clarify these areas:
Knowledge
- Students can articulate a knowledge of human language and how it is learned and taught.
Experience
- Students demonstrate they can apply what they have learned within a teaching situation.
Professional Identity
- Students demonstrate a sense of professionalism through improving personal language proficiency.
- Students participate in TESOL professional communities and utilize TESOL resources.
- Students display a sense of self-awareness and efficacy by demonstrating an understanding of what strengths and weaknesses they bring to the TESOL professions and how they can capitalize on their strengths and improve upon their weaknesses.
