Passport to the World
Did you know that trained teachers of English as a Second Language (TESL) are in high demand in practically every country of the world?
English language teachers can obtain positions in countries which are normally closed to missionaries from the West. Even Red China has recently asked for English teachers from the United States.
For those interested in working overseas, TESL can serve as a passport to get there. USCWM trains TESL teachers for overseas work.
Both an MA in TESL and a certificate program are offered. This summer there will be a specialized course in TESL for the Chinese world.
