If you have a BA and the TESOL Certificate, you would be a candidate for some English language teaching jobs overseas, as well as job opportunities in U.S. adult-education settings and possibly some K-12 settings. Completing the TESOL Certificate together with an MA in WRD, or a related field, makes you a strong candidate for a wider range of jobs.
In recent years, alumni have drawn on their TESOL expertise to help secure the following jobs:
· Full- or part-time teaching positions at U.S. colleges and universities
· Full-time teaching positions at universities or secondary schools abroad
· Positions in student support in U.S. higher education, including jobs in student advising centers, writing centers, and career centers
· Positions in faculty and instructional support in U.S. higher education
Some alumni have also gone on to pursue doctoral studies in applied linguistics or related fields.
