M.S.Ed.

The highly acclaimed M.S.Ed. TESOL specialization, housed within the Educational Linguistics program, prepares students to teach English to non-native speakers in settings where English is a second, foreign, or international language. The program emphasizes the many roles and functions of English language teaching in the political, social, and academic climate of today's world.

The TESOL specialization focuses on both the practical and theoretical aspects of the field. The program is classroom oriented, with a strong focus on sociolinguistics（社会语言学）, intercultural communication（跨文化交流）, and the interaction of language learning and use（语言的学习与使用的相互作用）. Together, these form a dynamic backdrop against which to study the foundational areas of linguistics, literacy, and education.
