Course Challenge Credit

A maximum of six units of 100 division language courses (only GERM 102 and 103) may be challenged for credit for this certificate.

Certificate in Teaching ESL Linguistics

This certificate is for students seeking a basic introduction to principles and theory underlying current approaches to the teaching of English as a second language (TESL). The program emphasizes an understanding of linguistics and applied linguistics concepts. Successful completion of a 30 hour practicum in an adult ESL program is also required. The certificate requires at least four to five terms to complete and may be earned concurrently with an honors, major, extended minor or minor in linguistics.

While the certificate by itself is not a specific employment credential, it constitutes basic preparation for teaching English language skills to adult learners. The certificate also provides preparation for further applied linguistics and TESL studies. Those pursuing a long-term TESL career should plan to complete more advanced studies upon completion of the program. Monolingual students are strongly advised to complete at least two courses (six units) in a language other than English.

Admission Requirements

Admission is not automatic. All candidates must complete and submit the required application form (available from the department) with a statement of purpose and all other required documents prior to one of three deadlines (September 30, January 31, May 31). An interview with a designated linguistics department member is also required.

Prospective students may begin completing certificate courses prior to program admission. However, students are strongly advised to apply as soon as possible after completing LING 200, 220 and an upper division course, preferably in linguistics, with a minimum C- grade. Those who delay may be unable to enrol in the required courses at the desired time.

In addition to the University’s admission requirements, students must demonstrate excellent spoken and written English. This requirement is more stringent than the University’s minimum English language requirement. Students whose first language is not English should consult the department well in advance of applying. Oral communication skills will be assessed during the interview.

Applications are evaluated on merit. The department considers academic standing, communication skills as assessed in the interview, interests and motivations in the statement of purpose, and personal qualities. Priority is given to those enrolled in a Simon Fraser University degree program.

Program Requirements

The program requires successful completion of 31 units as set out below, with a minimum 2.00 GPA calculated on grades in the specified required courses. Students also must complete a supervised practicum (LING 363) which includes 25 to 30 units of experience in an adult ESL classroom.
