About the program

While pursuing the Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) from Webster University Athens, graduate students refine their knowledge of the English language system and second language acquisition.

  • The English language system, its components (i.e., phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, etc.) and issues of linguistic variation (i.e., dialects, discourse, slang, humor, etc.).
  • The major theories, key concepts and research in first and second language acquisition (SLA).
  • Modern and traditional teaching approaches, as well as the legal processes and policies that have influenced the English as a Second Language field.
  • Multicultural aspects and personal variables (i.e., background experiences, values, beliefs, gender) that affect the process of language acquisition and cultural integration.
  • Effective learning and communication strategies.
  • Curriculum design and appropriate materials/textbooks.
