TEFL Certificate

The TEFL Certificate--which does not take the place of a minor--is available to Evangel students of all majors who have at least sophomore standing and EU Writing Proficiency status.  This certificate will prepare students to teach English as a foreign language in an overseas setting.  It does not, however, certify a person to teach ESL in Missouri or most other U.S. public-school systems. Each state has its own certification requirements, which usually involve training at the level of at least a minor.  The Program requires 14 credit hours of work in the following courses:  TESL 433, 436, 445, 336, and 497.  (Note: this sequence is recommended.)  Students in the TEFL Certificate Program must achieve a grade of at least C- in each course in the Program.
