NEW MA in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL)

The Department of Modern and Classical Languages is current designing a new Master’s degree in TESL.  This program will offer courses in linguistics, second language acquisition and teaching pedagogy, including a variety of opportunities for hands-on learning through course projects and a teaching internship.

The program is expected to require 36 graduate credits and be completed in one calendar year.  We expect to usher in the first class in the summer of 2012.  However, TESL courses will be offered for the spring 2012 term (and can count toward the MA degree.) 

The TESL program can be combined with the Master’s degree in Teaching World Languages (MATWL) Program (see: http://web.as.uky.edu/matwl)
