What is distinctive about the UC Davis M.A. program?
Our M.A. program prepares students to teach English as a Second Language to adults in various contexts, including universities, colleges, and adult schools. A particular strength of our program is its extensive practicum. M.A. students begin teaching classes for international graduate students during their first quarter, and continue teaching throughout their first year. They also have opportunities to observe ESL classes on campus and in the community. Their practicum work is closely coordinated with the LIN 300 series of TESOL courses.
