"The hands-on nature of my master’s program in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) gave me the opportunity to develop new strategies and hone my skills in teaching language learners. The TESOL faculty were expert researcher-practitioners who enthusiastically supported my efforts and development. The program definitely opened several professional doors for me at renowned institutions. These positive experiences led me back to Alliant where I just completed my doctoral program and am now working in teacher training for the US State Department."
