The Master of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (MTESOL) program at ASU equips you to teach English anywhere in the world, on your terms. The 30-credit-hour degree can be completed via ASU Online or on ASU’s beautiful Tempe campus and is available in an accelerated format for students in our BA English (linguistics) program.

The curriculum empowers students with scholarly and professional knowledge in four core areas: language, learning, teaching and research. But: “It’s not just about teaching English,” says program alumnus Narin Loa, Ph.D. (MTESOL ’19), “It’s about understanding multilingualism, thinking about the role of English in global contexts and creating learning environments where students feel encouraged and respected.”

Attacks on Indigenous rights, public education, and cultural diversity have increased with the rise of fascism in the U.S and Chile. Join us on Wednesday, April 29th, at 5:00 pm (MST) for this hybrid bilingual event, which explores how Mapuche-run schools and language immersion centers challenge assimilationist state policies and offer lessons for educators, students, and activists in the U.S. grappling with parallel struggles over democracy, education, and cultural survival. Dinner provided in Ross-Blakley Hall 196. RSVP here: links.asu.edu/RSVPforo

Las vulneraciones de derechos humanos, junto con los ataques a la educación pública y la diversidad cultural, han aumentado bajo la nueva derecha en Chile y en el mundo. El miércoles, 29 de abril, a las 20 hrs (Chile) habrá un foro bilingüe que analiza cómo las escuelas mapuche y los centros de inmersión lingüística desafían las políticas públicas asimilacionistas y ofrece estrategias a los educadores que luchan por una educación propia con pertinencia cultural.

🗣️ Cada idioma guarda historias, valores, memoria y conocimiento. Sin embargo, según la UNESCO, una lengua se extingue cada dos semanas, perdiendo historia y cultura a través de ella.

En Arizona State University, Tyler Peterson trabaja junto a comunidades indígenas del suroeste de EE.UU. para documentar y revitalizar sus lenguas, fortaleciendo la educación, la identidad cultural y la soberanía comunitaria. 🗺️

Estos proyectos hacen más que preservan patrimonio cultural, también generan oportunidades de formación profesional para estudiantes y fortalecen la investigación académica con impacto social.

ASU reafirma así su compromiso con la innovación inclusiva y el trabajo en comunidad. 🌎

CoLang team (Saki Gejo, Tyler Peterson, and Shahar Shirtz) win the President's Award for working on real-world solutions!

Held in summer 2024, The Collaborative Language Institute brought the world’s leading Indigenous language activists, community scholars, students and academics to ASU to provide training in language documentation, preservation and collaborative practices.

The event was co-hosted by Arizona State University and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. Fewer than 20 of the nation’s approximately 300 Indigenous languages are being passed down to children, making these languages critically endangered. The event directly addressed this crisis by providing community-centered training in language documentation and revitalization.
