Overview

About the programme

The major in Applied Linguistics from Columbia University provides students with a solid foundation for defining and resolving problems related to the nature of language, how it is used in educational and naturalistic contexts, and how it is taught, learned, and assessed, while the major in TESOL provides students with a solid foundation in the English language so educational questions related to the teaching, learning, and assessment of English as a second or foreign language (ESL/EFL) may be understood, formulated, examined, and resolved.

Graduates from the Applied Linguistics and TESOL Program typically teach ESL or EFL in elementary or secondary schools, in colleges or universities, in language schools or institutes in the United States or abroad, or in businesses or international organizations.

Others work for assessment companies such as ETS, Cambridge ESOL, or Pearson; for publishers; or for technology companies that produce ESL/EFL products. Still others work as language program administrators in educational settings. Finally, many graduates work as applied linguists or TESOL faculty or researchers in colleges and universities around the world.
