| | TESOL at Teachers College, Columbia University |
 | | The program in TESOL provides students with a solid foundation in the English language so that pedagogical and research questions related to the teaching, learning and assessment of English as a second or foreign language (ESL/EFL) may be formulated, examined and resolved. |
 | | More specifically, the TESOL program helps students develop strategies, firmly grounded in research, theory and practice, to teach ESL in the U.S., to teach EFL internationally, or to do research on the teaching, learning or assessment of English as a second or foreign language. |
 | | Graduates from the TESOL program typically teach ESL or EFL students in elementary or secondary schools, in colleges or universities, in language schools or institutes abroad, or in businesses or international organizations. |
