The English language is one of the most widely used in the world. For immigrants arriving in America, the UK, Ireland, Australia, and Canada, it’s an aspect of assimilation and adaptation to a new culture; for others, it’s a necessary skill for entering the global business world.
As English continues to becomes the lingua franca of the world, the demand for well trained professionals who can teach it as a second language will continue to increase. As any teacher can tell you, though, knowing how to do something does not mean you can teach it. Teaching requires trained professionals who know their field inside and out, including the different theoretical approaches to its instruction. A major in Teaching English as a Second Language will equip you with the tools you will need to become a successful teacher, including training and knowledge of different cultures, teaching methods, and of course, hands-on teaching experience.
