Master of Science in Teaching English as a Foreign Language Contact: Prof. Denis Hall The M.S. TEFL degree at SNHU is designed for people teaching or intending to teach English in foreign school systems, language schools, corporations, etc., but is also appropriate for those who wish to teach in similar situations here in the United States. Opportunities for teaching English in other countries are numerous and increasing yearly as English continues to be the preferred language for many professions and a requirement in many foreign school systems, beginning as early as primary school. A master’s degree in teaching English as a foreign language is the degree of choice for overseas employment. Methodologies for all types of teaching situations are integrated into the curriculum, as well as strategies for teaching learners of all ages. Twelve courses are required (including supervised practice teaching) for a total of 36 credits. The degree program is offered over four terms and can be completed within 12 months (full-time), though most students take longer (up to 18 months). Participants in the M.S. TEFL program have the opportunity to observe classes throughout the Greater Manchester area and in the year-round Intensive English Program offered by The Institute for Language Education. Admission Requirements: • Completion of the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree with the equivalent of a 2.75 grade point average (GPA). • For native speakers of English, at least two semesters of college-level study of a foreign language (or equivalent ability). • For non-native speakers of English, a TOEFL score of 80 on the iBT with a minimum score of 19 in any skill area; or a paper-based TOEFL score of 550 with a writing score of 5.0 on a scale of 6.0; or an IELTS score of 7.0 with a minimum score of 6.5 in any skill area.
