Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)

The mission of TESOL programs at Lesley University is to prepare competent, caring, inclusive, reflective, and proactive TESOL professional educators who make a difference in their students' lives. The programs are based on the philosophy that being proficient in two or more languages is an asset and an important priority for American education in a global world community. Program participants acquire meaningful, innovative, and culturally responsive research-based learning for culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students.
