There is a growing need worldwide for non-native English speakers to prepare themselves for careers in teaching English as an additional language. The IMTE is a course-based, professional program offering preparation for a career teaching English abroad. The coursework is balanced with a significant proportion of classroom experience. This degree is oriented primarily to international students planning to teach English abroad. The program combines foundational concepts of foreign language teaching and learning with experiential learning of practical dimensions of English language teaching.
