Certificate Programs in ESL are designed to boost students' skills in the field and move them ahead in their careers. Starting with foundational courses in Education and Secondary Education (6-12), most programs then move into a specialization in ESL.
The English as a Second Language specialization focuses on instructional methods and materials for teaching English as a second language; theories for the acquisition of a second language; testing and evaluation of students studying English as a second language; and developing curriculum for English as a second language students. This program takes 1 to 2 years to complete.
Students in Certificate programs can expect to graduate and move into ESL careers within 1 to 4 years.
A certificate, in addition to certifying that someone has passed a test or reached a specific standard of knowledge, may also be the name of an actual award. Certificates generally take up to 1 year to complete.
