TESOL Mission
The mission of the Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) program at Missouri Valley College (MVC) is to provide students with a theoretical and applied understanding of the methods and theories involved in teaching English language learners (ELLs). Specifically, courses in this program survey the curricular and teaching methods used with ELLs as well as the various linguistic theories of second language acquisition. Students in this program are able to apply what they have learned directly into the creation of situationally relevant curricular, instructional, and assessment materials for ELLs.
