Welcome to the Graduate School of TESOL-MALLThe TESOL-MALL program educates professional English teachers in this era of increasing globalization to become specialists who can contribute to the development of English education and multimedia related English education. Our program offers an interdisciplinary curriculum, critical pedagogical approaches, and multimedia assisted language learning with highly local and international faculty. The TESOL-MALL program offers M.A, dual degree, and certificate level degrees with opportunity for student exchange with leading universities in the English speaking world. The program is one of the few English-only programs for both native and non-native speakers of English in Korea.
The provision of adequate English language teaching services is a worldwide challenge. The demand for EFL specialists in Korea and elsewhere continues to expand. English has become the world's second language and is widely taught as an international language in every part of the world. These factors have created an obvious and overwhelming need for teachers specially trained in the structure of English, applied linguistics, language teaching methodology, course design, language testing, and the place of language in multicultural education. As well, the rapid development and diffusion of information processing technologies, in combination with language education through multimedia instructional approaches, has opened new avenues in the field. The Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (MA TESOL) qualifies holders of this degree to teach English as a Second Language (ESL) or English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Graduates of the program become teachers, curriculum specialists, or administrators in ESL/EFL programs, mainly at the secondary, adult, and college levels, both in Korea and abroad. The program also welcomes experienced primary school teachers who wish to broaden their understanding of language teaching and learning. Study toward a TESOL certificate is also available. The Master of Arts, dual degree, and certificate level degrees in TESOL-MALL are open to both experienced and prospective language educators, both local and international, who wish to start or upgrade their ESL or EFL qualifications and career in Korea or abroad. The programs are designed to be flexible so as to accommodate the specific needs of each type of student and their varying career objectives while offering maximum interaction among a multilingual student population. Overall, TESOL-MALL wants to make a difference in people's education, their language learning, and over time in their daily lives, and if you do too, then we can find ways to do that together.
