The TESOL Concentration in Liberal Studies is an excellent undergraduate preparation for California teaching credentials, and provides minimum preparation for teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) or English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in language institutes in the U.S. or overseas. With the increasingly multi-cultural and multi-lingual makeup of our public schools, and the need for ESL approaches in the K-12 classrooms, the TESOL Concentration is increasingly valued by California school districts. The concentration does not require fluency in any language other than English.
