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 Humanities and English and Writing, 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.
