Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language

The University of Lynchburg offers a teaching English as a second or foreign language (TESL/TEFL) minor or certificate that aims to enrich and expand students’ knowledge of linguistics, language, and language-learning. Students interested in teaching English as a second language to students in the U.S. or in teaching English abroad should consider either the minor or certificate. Practical English teaching experience can also be gained through the University’s regular study abroad trips in Chile (Winter Term) and South Korea (summer).
