Graduate Reflections
Graduates of our program share about their current pursuits and experience of the MA-TESOL program.
Eveline Piersma
ESL Instructor, Bellevue College
"SPU's MA-TESOL Program is, in a word, outstanding. I was grateful for the eclectic mix of courses from various disciplines, and for the practicum courses, which provide opportunities to observe and teach at local community colleges and meet ESL professionals. The professors, who are experts in their fields, practice what they teach. This program is characterized by a balance of high expectations and positive reinforcement. I am in my second year as an ESL instructor now, and I feel well-prepared for my new profession."
Timothy Healy
Head Academic Instructor at A.C.E. at SPU
"The students in the MA-TESOL program were culturally diverse, experienced, and knowledgeable. The practicum was a great introduction to teaching and to the institution where we teach. The program placed me with top-notch teachers at a leading college."
