Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), Certificate of Graduate Study


The Certificate of Graduate Study in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)  is designed to accommodate teachers, educational technicians, and other holders of baccalaureate degrees who do not want to complete all of the requirements for a master’s degree but who wish to obtain foundational knowledge in teaching multilingual learners. Students who complete the certificate program receive official transcript recognition of their work and a certificate from the Literacy, Language, and Culture department. Certificate completers are able to plan effective instruction for culturally and linguistically diverse students and may earn state endorsement in ESOL if other requirements are met. Please consult with the Maine Department of Education.
