UofL’s newest online program is taking English beyond the borders

Have you ever thought about traveling overseas to teach others how to speak English? Or maybe you’d like to work with a humanitarian outreach organization? With our new certificate program, you can gain essential skills for teaching and/or tutoring non-native English speakers—no previous experience in education required!

The graduate certificate in Teaching English as an International Language (TEIL) is designed for bachelor’s degree holders who do not have a background in education but want to teach English language learners abroad and in other scenarios where a teaching license is not required.

As a TEIL student, you’ll learn strategies to work with English language learners in a variety of settings both in the U.S. and abroad including humanitarian outreach organizations, private/parochial schools, tutoring opportunities with non-native students, missions work or international work with multi-national companies.

Applicants to the TEIL online program must have a bachelor’s degree earned from a regionally-accredited institution, but all fields of study and backgrounds are welcome. Also, there are no additional prerequisites to enter the program.
