Master's Program in International Language Education: Teaching English to Speakers of Other Language

Introduction to our TESOL Program
Introduction to our TESOL Program
The program emphasizes the development of a broad understanding of second language acquisition theory and research methods as well as individualized supervision and practical experience for all students as each works closely with experienced faculty. In addition, the program allows students the flexibility to pursue their professional interests.

The ILE: TESOL program has four core components that are emphasized throughout the two-year program:
  • Understanding and utilizing learning theory and methodology
  • Understanding, utilizing, and conducting research
  • Practical experience and practice
  • Specialization through research, practical interests, and elective courses
While based in Japan, the ILE: TESOL Program is a rigorous academic program at the graduate level, comparable to similar programs in the United States, Australia, or the United Kingdom. The program employs a distinctively western approach to graduate study, requiring students to actively prepare for and participate in class discussions, write academic papers based on surveys of research, and deliver presentations. There are few lecture-style classes. Although challenging, the program staff and faculty are dedicated to providing support for students so that they can meet their educational goals and the expectations of our program successfully.

Upon completion of the program, graduates can expect to have the foundation knowledge and skills as well as the confidence to become effective language educators in a variety of contexts, or to pursue graduate study at the doctoral level.
