Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction - Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL)

UNC Charlotte’s Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction with a concentration in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) is designed to prepare teachers to work with K-12 learners in the public schools, adult ESL (English as a Second Language), and EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students. The program allows those current teachers who already possess an “A” level license in another teaching discipline to receive K-12 licensure in ESL and provides an educational pathway for those hoping to teach TESL in non-licensure settings. The program includes a Master’s capstone research project or comprehensive portfolio. Our program contains unique components and and provides flexibility to potential applicants, but this does create an added layer of complexity to keep in mind. We urge all prospective students to contact an Enrollment Specialist to get your questions answered immediately. UNC Charlotte’s Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction program is offered 100% online and is designed to be flexible for working professionals.
