पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

The M. A. program in TESOL is interdisciplinary, including courses on a wide range of topics in language and teaching that provide students with a theoretical and practical background in linguistics, pedagogical grammar, literacy, and second language acquisition, as well as psychological, sociological and cultural aspects of learning. These courses adopt an approach that infuses theory into classroom teaching. The courses in methods, curriculum and materials development, and assessment bring together how language and teaching can be integrated to inform instruction. Expertise in teaching English to speakers of other languages is acquired through studying specialized methods and techniques that differ from those used by teachers who prepare to teach English Language Arts to native speakers of English. This program is designed to prepare teachers who want to teach students for whom English is a second or foreign language. The Hunter College program offers three options for a TESOL course of study leading to a master’s degree in TESOL.
