Teaching English & Global Education

 

This major is designed for students that are interested in Teaching English on a national (e.g. Teaching English to non-native English speakers in the USA) and international level (Teaching English to non-native Speakers in their home country/ies), as well as any other form of Teaching English and/or involvement with Global Education (e.g. non-profit organizations, private language schools, etc.).

Students who want to major in Teaching English and Global Education need to take English and linguistic classes as well as special Community Education core and practicum classes on and off campus. It will help and prepare them to work with students of whom English is not their first language, and also to understand some of the pedagogy, which is the methods and concepts of teaching. Students will be able to learn about the international models of education and their differences, as well as different cultures and traditions that are surrounding us in the global community.
