Dr. Jennifer Zhang: Alumni Spotlight
One of the most important skills I developed is essentially project management. With the research goal in mind and the time/budget/resources constraints: What can reasonably be accomplished, and how can I make sure that it happens? This training helped me define my projects and prioritize tasks more effectively.
Raihan Rahman: Grad Student Spotlight
TESL extends beyond English teaching. My MA in TESOL provided a platform to develop skills in scientific language analysis, computer programming, and statistics for language data. It also honed soft skills such as communication, time management, coordination, and professionalism. This program offers a broader perspective on language and teaching.
