Overview

The Teaching English As A Second Language program from Portland State University helps you develop skills and knowledge to teach English internationally without the commitment of a two-year master's degree. If you already have a master's degree in another field, completion of this program may qualify you to teach English as a second language in community colleges across the United States.

The seven-course Teaching English As A Second Language program from Portland State University combines practical teaching skills with in-depth knowledge about English, language learning, and cross-cultural interactions. The program prepares you to become a more effective and adaptable teacher.

Career opportunities:

Most of our graduates go on to teach English outside of the United States, working in private language schools, high schools, middle schools, and corporations in Central and South America, Asia, Turkey, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa — or even online.

Many students return to do the Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (MA TESOL) degree, which provides them with more thorough training for a career as a language professional.
