Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages Endorsement Endorsement

About us

Ohio’s communities and schools are dynamic places where more than 90 languages are used every day. Developing classroom teachers and communities that foster academic learning, linguistic diversity and English-language proficiency are some of the goals of Ohio State’s TESOL Endorsement program.

Through this program, in-service Ohio teachers develop their understanding of language learning in content-area classrooms, as well as their ability to serve as language educators and advocates for multilingual students and families. Upon successful completion of the program, in-service teachers can add Ohio’s K-12 TESOL Endorsement to their teaching license.
