Ed.D. in TESOL & Bilingual Education Programs

Planning a leadership or college teaching career in TESOL? Start with our Ed.D. in TESOL & Bilingual Education listings! Explore costs, curricula, and specializations. Compare on-campus and online TESOL doctorates. Discover whether you want to pursue a Ph.D. or an Ed.D. And learn more about job opportunities & salary figures for Ed.D. graduates in TESOL fields.

What is an Ed.D. in TESOL or Bilingual Education?

Ed.D. programs in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), English as a Second Language (ESL), English as a Foreign Language (EFL), English Language Arts (ELA), and Bilingual Education are aimed at experienced TESOL teacher educators who want to move up the career ladder, as well as education professionals who create, supervise, and assess TESOL programs.

You may wish to earn an Ed.D. in TESOL or Bilingual Education in order to:

• Work in TESOL administration or curriculum development
• Become a Professor of TESOL in a college or university
• Learn how to train TESOL & bilingual educators
• Apply research in applied linguistics to real-world scenarios
• Become an agent of change in your current setting

Graduates of Ed.D. programs in TESOL often work in public and private schools, higher education settings, and community & government agencies, both in the U.S. and abroad.

Types of Doctorate in TESOL Programs

Ed.d. in tesol & related fields.

Think of TESOL as a highly specific field representing the meeting point between applied linguistics and curriculum & instruction. Within our listings , you’ll find a wide variety of programs in this field, including doctorates that focus on:

• Applied Linguistics: Some Ed.D. programs in TESOL place a great deal of emphasis on linguistic theory & strategies. Programs like Columbia University’s Ed.D. in Applied Linguistics and TESOL , the University of Pennsylvania’s Ed.D. in Educational Linguistics , and Hofstra University’s Ed.D. in Teaching and Learning – Applied Linguistics tackle linguistic principles and methodologies that can be easily adapted to the teaching of languages other than English.
• English Instruction: Other Ed.D. programs in TESOL choose to address the practicalities of English instruction. For instance, Columbia University’s Ed.D. in the Teaching of English , Northcentral University’s Online Ed.D. in English Language Learning , and the University of Central Florida’s Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction – English Language Arts focus on applied TESOL, with less attention given to the linguistics principles that undergird it.
• Curriculum & Instruction: As you might expect, TESOL is a relatively common subspecialty within the Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction. Even programs specifically dedicated to TESOL tend to include a strong curriculum design component.

Alternative Ed.D. in TESOL Terms

• TESOL: The term TESOL, meaning “Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages,” began to become the industry standard in the United States after the TESOL International Organization was founded in 1966. Other popular terms include TESL (“Teaching English as a Second Language”) and TEFL (“Teaching English as a Foreign Language”).
• Bilingual Education: Bilingual education usually refers to teaching students in their native language (e.g. English) in conjunction with a second language. Bilingual educators employ differing levels of these two languages depending on curricula requirements & teaching models.
• ESL/EFL: ESL (“English as a Second Language”) and EFL (“English as a Foreign Language”) refer to the field from a student-centered perspective. Strictly speaking, ESL teachers work in English-speaking countries with students whose first language is not English. EFL educators teach English outside of the United States in areas where English is not the primary language.
• ELA: ELA stands for “English Language Arts.” This term—popularized within Common Core standards—is used to refer to English usage, acquisition, and literary study, regardless of whether or not the student is a native English speaker and regardless of whether the study of the field is basic (as in the case of an introductory ESL course) or advanced (as in the case of a Ph.D. in English).

Ph.D. vs. Ed.D. in TESOL or Bilingual Education

An Ed.D. in TESOL or Bilingual Education is a good choice for TESOL educators who are interested in administrative, leadership, and curriculum development jobs within the field. Ed.D. programs emphasize problems of practice and real-world learning.

In general, a Ph.D. is regarded as a more competitive credential than an Ed.D. for tenure-track academic positions. This could make a Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics and/or TESOL a better fit for educators looking at college-level positions.

However, there are few caveats to these statements:

• Ed.D. programs in TESOL tend to be more research-driven and Ph.D.-like than Ed.D. programs in other educational specialties. This could mitigate the perception that an Ed.D. in TESOL is a less rigorous research degree than a Ph.D. in the same field.
• The international TESOL market is growing. Most of the new teacher educator & administrative jobs in this field are opening up in international campuses overseas, where diverse degree nomenclature is the norm. This means that, in many cases, stereotypes about the relative research intensity of a Ph.D. versus that of an Ed.D. may not be relevant.
• The TESOL/ESL market is one of the few U.S. education sectors that’s actually expected to shrink in the years ahead. That being the case, it’s possible that open U.S. tenure-track TESOL teacher educator positions might become difficult to obtain in general, regardless of the type of terminal degree you have.

There’s a lot to consider before deciding between a Ph.D. and Ed.D., so head over to our guide ( here ) to learn more about which option is best for you.

Earning an Ed.D. in TESOL or Bilingual Education

Tesol prerequisites.

• Master’s Degree: Applicants to an Ed.D. in TESOL are expected to hold a master’s degree in TESOL, education, or applied linguistics. A master’s degree in English or M.F.A. in Writing may be allowed on a special-case basis if the curriculum focuses to an unusual degree on applied linguistics and English language instruction, but these exceptions are rare and may still necessitate bridge coursework.
• Work Experience: Some universities have a minimum requirement (e.g. 3+ years of teaching); some don’t. But they will all be reviewing your résumé for evidence of relevant professional experience.
• Minimum GPA: Most Ed.D. programs in TESOL require a minimum 3.0 GPA. High-flying Colleges of Education may ask for a GPA of 3.25-3.5.
• Additional Requirements: Doctoral students may also be expected to submit GRE or MAT scores, an admissions essay, an academic writing sample, 2-4 letters of recommendation, and/or a résumé. Foreign nationals whose native language is not English will often have to submit a TOEFL or IELTS score.

TESOL Coursework

The easiest way to learn about coursework is to visit the curriculum links in our listings . Ed.D. programs in TESOL tend to be highly technical in nature, and more specialized than Ed.D. programs in other fields. Even Alliant International University’s Ed.D. in TESOL , which emphasizes practical elements of the field and does not advertise itself as a program in applied linguistics, still includes coursework in:

• Sociolinguistics
• Psycholinguistics
• Language acquisition
• Specialized linguistic disciplines

Beyond the realm of applied linguistics, you can expect a heavy dose of coursework in curriculum and instruction. For example, in addition to linguistics work, Texas A&M University Kingsville’s Ed.D. in Bilingual Education includes credits in:

• Classroom Work (e.g. Management Systems for Instruction, Clinical Supervision of Instruction, Evaluation of Instruction)
• Methodologies (e.g. Teaching English as a Second Language, Teaching Spanish Language Skills, Teaching English Reading, Teaching Subject Matter in Spanish)
• Cultural Studies (e.g. History of the Mexican-American/Sociology of the Mexican-American/Literature of the Mexican-American)

Finally, all Ed.D. programs in TESOL will include research coursework to prepare you for the dissertation or capstone.

TESOL Internship & Fieldwork

The emphasis on academic research within the TESOL specialty means that internships and fieldwork requirements are relatively light. Wayne State’s Ed.D. in English Education , which limits the fieldwork requirement to a single 3-hour supervisory practicum, is fairly typical in this respect.

TESOL Dissertation

Every Ed.D. in our program database with a major in TESOL requires a traditional dissertation. In most other fields, Ed.D. programs are available that include a capstone project or project portfolio in lieu of a dissertation. In the highly specialized, theory-driven field of TESOL, no such alternatives are available.

A few Ed.D. programs in other fields that offer a specialization track in TESOL allow students to pursue a capstone project rather than a dissertation.

Online Ed.D. in TESOL Programs

Are ed.d. in tesol programs offered online.

You’ll find a few Online Ed.D. programs in TESOL & Bilingual Education in our listings . We’ve flagged them with an “Offered Online” marker. They are rare!

Do Online Ed.D. in TESOL Programs Contain Residencies?

It depends on the program. For example, the University of West Georgia’s online Ed.D. in School Improvement – TESOL contains a single summer residency over the course of the entire program. In contrast, Northcentral University’s Ed.D. in English Language Learning is 100% online, with no on-campus requirements.

TESOL Careers

Ed.d. in tesol jobs.

An education doctorate in TESOL will set you up for leadership & teacher training positions in the field. Common job titles for graduates include:

• TESOL Program Director
• TESOL Education/Linguistics Faculty
• TESOL Training Specialist/Consultant
• TESOL Curriculum Specialist
• TESOL Educational Technology Specialist
• Bilingual/ESL/EFL Program Coordinator
• TESOL Researcher

Keep in mind that TESOL is a growing international field. Many TESOL and ESL educators work overseas, often in lucrative administrative & teaching positions.

Ed.D. in TESOL Salary

The BLS monitors employment numbers & wage data for Adult Basic Education, Adult Secondary Education, and English as a Second Language Instructors , Postsecondary Education Teachers , and Instructional Coordinators . These three categories will provide you with low-end salary numbers, but they don’t deal with specific job titles.

For that, we suggest you choose a preferred job title (e.g. TESOL Assistant Professor) and compare data from common salary sites (e.g. Glassdoor, Payscale, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, etc.). If you’re interested in overseas jobs, you’ll need to dig a little deeper. Countries in the Middle East (e.g. UAE, Oman, Kuwait) and East Asia (e.g. Japan, Taiwan, South Korea) tend to offer higher salaries overall.

Is an Ed.D. in TESOL or Bilingual Education Worth It?

TESOL is not currently a fast-growing field in the United States, and the shrinking number of positions that do exist here are likely to become more competitive over the coming years. This could make an Ed.D. essential to your career’s long-term survival in a way that it might not be in most other fields. A terminal degree also positions you well to train ESL educators in growing overseas markets like China, South Korea, and the UAE.

If you’re thinking of pursuing a faculty position at a college or a university, we recommend you discuss your options with your mentors. Traditionally, a Ph.D. has been the favored qualification for academic roles. When we looked at job openings for TESOL professors, we found that some universities explicitly asked for a Ph.D. and others were happy to consider the Ph.D. or Ed.D. So you’ll have to make a decision about which path to take.

Question: Are there any online Doctor of Education (EdD) programs in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), English Language Learning (ELL), and English Language Acquisition (ELA)?

Answer: Yes, there are currently four online EdD programs that allow students to specialize in English Language Learning (ELL), Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), or English Language Acquisition (ELA). Students in these programs earn a doctoral degree in education (EdD) that, in addition to core coursework in education and scholarly research methods, includes specialized training and instruction in the pedagogy and practice of TESOL and strategies for teaching English language skills.

The EdD is a terminal scholar-practitioner degree, which means it is the highest-level degree conferred to scholar-practitioners in education. The Doctor of Philosophy, or PhD, in education is another type of terminal degree in the field, but PhD programs typically place a greater emphasis on academic research rather than applied practice. (For a detailed examination of the differences between these two degrees, see our FAQ on EdD vs. PhD programs .

EdD programs with a TESOL, ELL, or ELA specialization are designed to prepare students for leadership roles in the planning, assessment, and coordination of English language programs for non-English speakers in schools, school districts, community programs, and other settings where English as a second language (ESL) is taught. The TESOL specialization is one of many concentrations offered by EdD programs. Others include Adult Education, Early Childhood Education, Higher Education, and Special Education.

What is TESOL?

TESOL represents a base of knowledge and practices that inform the pedagogy for teaching English language skills, including reading, writing, and speaking English, to students and adults whose primary language is not English. Teaching English as a second language (ESL) is another, older term for TESOL and is considered roughly the equivalent of TESOL in most cases. However, TESOL has become the new term of art for teaching English as a second language. ELL is a similar term that can refer to anyone who is learning English but is generally applied to English language learners in K-12 schools. ELA is short for English Language Acquisition, which is largely equivalent to TESOL and ESL from an academic perspective.

The TESOL specialization is generally classified under the broader Curriculum and Instruction area of education, which encompasses the design, assessment, evaluation, and improvement of curricula based on accepted theories of learning and development. TESOL teachers, program directors, researchers, and administrators apply these principles to teaching English to students and adults whose primary language is not English.

TESOL pedagogy is rooted in an understanding of second-language acquisition, sociolinguistic theories, and evidence-based methods for teaching ESL in a variety of settings, including elementary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, community programs, workplaces, and private learning centers.

Online EdD in TESOL Program Curriculum

As noted above, TESOL is generally a specialization within the larger area of Curriculum and Instruction, which encompasses the broad pedagogical goals of designing, implementing, and evaluating educational programming in order to improve outcomes. Students in an EdD in TESOL program take foundational courses that cover topics in curriculum development, instructional design, and educational leadership, as well as courses that cover theories of learning and development, trends in the American educational system, educational policy, and classroom technologies.

It is important to note that specific courses vary by school and by program. However, most EdD programs that focus on Curriculum and Instruction provide a broad-based foundation in educational theory, practice, and policy. TESOL specialization coursework builds on this foundation, focusing on the application of general knowledge to TESOL programs and curricula.

A TESOL curriculum at the doctoral level typically includes courses that cover the design, evaluation, and implementation of second language programs; theories of linguistics language acquisition; social, psychological, and cultural factors in learning and teaching English as a second language; and research in the field of TESOL. In addition, many program incorporate coursework in the use of technology in second language teaching, the design and evaluation of training programs for TESOL teachers, and/or strategies for teaching English as a second language in elementary and secondary schools or adult education settings.

Typical EdD in TESOL specialization courses include, but are not limited, to the following:

• Second Language Acquisition
• Language Assessments and Analysis
• Research in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
• Second Language Performance Assessment
• Computer-Assisted Language Learning
• Sociolinguistics
• Schools of Linguistic Analysis
• TESOL Methodologies for K-6
• TESOL Methodologies for 7-12
• TESOL Methodologies for Adult Learners

In addition to didactic coursework, EdD programs typically require students to complete a doctoral dissertation or a capstone project prior to receiving their degree.

Online EdD Programs with a Specialization in TESOL

Currently, four accredited universities offer online EdD programs with a TESOL, ELL, or ELA specialization. A brief description of each program is provided below.

National University , a private online university located in San Diego, CA, has an online EdD program with 17 specializations, including an English Language Learning (ELL) specialization. Students in the program are required to complete 16 courses and a dissertation for a total of 48 credits and can earn their degree in as few as 33 months. Admission to the program requires a post-baccalaureate master’s or doctoral degree. The ELL specialization consists of four courses that cover topics in teaching, assessing, and developing ELL curricula and contemporary issues in teaching English as a second language. This program does not require students to attend any campus visits. For more information on the program, visit www.nu.edu .

The University of Central Florida (UCF) has a fully online EdD program with a TESOL specialization. The program does not require students to attend any campus visits. Students in the program are required to complete 36 credits of course work and an 18-credit dissertation for a total of 54 credits prior to receiving their degree. The TESOL specialization consists of five courses that provide training and instruction in language acquisition processes, second language literacy, sociolinguistics, and TESOL teacher education. Students can complete UCF’s program in three years. To be eligible for the program, applicants must hold a master’s degree in education or a related field. For additional information about the program, visit the UCF’s College of Community Innovation and Education website at ccie.ucf.edu .

The University of Virginia (UVA) offers an online EdD in Curriculum and Instruction program through its School of Education and Human Development. The program has an ESL specialization comprised of four courses that confer 12 of the 72 credits required to earn the degree. Students in the program can take graduate courses in the structure of the English language, sociolinguistics, ESL assessment and curriculum design, and applied linguistics. The program does not require any campus visits. The EdD program, which can be completed in four years, does not require a dissertation. Instead, students must complete a capstone project as part of their studies. Applicants must hold a master’s degree and have four years of prior teaching experience. For more information on the program, visit UVA’s School of Education and Human Development at education.virginia.edu .

The University of West Georgia (UWG) offers an online EdD in School Improvement with an Area of Concentration (AoC) in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). This program consists of core courses in areas such as culturally proficient leadership, policy analysis and development for school improvement, advanced instructional practices, and qualitative and quantitative research methods. The ESOL AoC is comprised of courses in cultural and linguistic diversity, second language acquisition and linguistics, and the application of TESOL methods, materials, and assessments through clinical practice. Students’ culminating experience in this doctoral program is a dissertation through which they examine a problem of practice relating to their area of study in linguistics and second language instruction and learning. Applicants to this program must have earned a master’s degree from an institution of higher education that has received regional and/or national accreditation. For more information about this program, please visit UWG’s School of Education at www.westga.edu .

Advantages of Online EdD in TESOL Programs

Online EdD programs are designed to provide students who cannot or would prefer not to commute to a campus for classes with a pathway to earn a doctorate in education. In addition, they provide students and professionals who do not live near a university that offers a doctoral program in TESOL the ability to pursue a terminal degree without having to relocate. While these are the primary advantages of an online program, additional advantages include being able to access coursework and course materials from anywhere and at any time, the ability to review recorded lectures multiple times for greater comprehension and understanding, and the ability to meet people and classmates from around the country (and maybe even from around the globe) who can share a greater diversity of voices and experiences.

Because online programs do not require students to commute to campus for lectures and discussion sessions, they are typically more flexible and convenient compared to their campus-based counterparts. For example, many online courses are delivered using asynchronous instruction, which means students can access pre-recorded lectures and presentation via a secure internet connection at their convenience, 24-7. Courses that are taught in real time using synchronous instruction are commonly scheduled for evenings and/or weekends so as not to conflict with work hours for students who maintain employment while earning their degree. Finally, students and interact with professors and classmates through online learning platforms that often allow both electronic communications (e.g., email and discussion boards) and the ability to interact in real-time through videoconferencing or chat rooms.

Many online EdD programs do not require students to attend any campus visits in order to earn their degree. However, some programs incorporate a limited number of on-campus sessions to allow for in-person lectures, seminars, and/or workshops. These campus visits are typically short in length and can be a valuable addition to the online learning experience. If traveling is not an option, students should consult with a program representative prior to submitting an application to determine whether or not campus visits are required.

Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)

Receive training in cross-cultural communication and effective methodology in teaching English to speakers of other languages.

Ready to Get Started?

Teaching english to speakers of other languages (tesol) overview.

The University of West Florida’s online TESOL certificate prepares educators to teach English as an additional language in a variety of settings in the United States and overseas.

This 100% online program features a curriculum grounded in the five domains of TESOL adopted by the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) and based on recommendations by the International TESOL Organization.

Coursework is designed to provide the theory and practical knowledge needed to educate culturally and linguistically diverse students. You will study topics including cross-cultural communication, second language acquisition and components of language, methods of teaching ESOL, ESOL curriculum development and testing and evaluation.

Through a focus on research-based approaches and practical teaching strategies, UWF’s online TESOL certificate delivers specialized skills for teaching English with multilingual and multicultural issues in mind. This program is approved by the FLDOE and meets high standards for academic quality.

Successful completers of the program can apply for the ESOL endorsement to be added to their teaching certification in the state of Florida. Students seeking endorsement outside Florida will need to follow the appropriate credentialing process for that state.*

Degree-seeking students can apply to the M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction program and use these TESOL courses to meet 15 hours of the 33-hour program requirements. Students who follow this route would be required to meet all of the admission requirements of the M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction.

The advantage of being a degree-seeking student is that you may be eligible for financial aid and may also be eligible to earn credit for one ESOL course if you have had previous TESOL/ESOL coursework, in-service training in TESOL/ESOL and/or experience teaching English learners.

A UWF ESOL faculty member can provide you with the process of submitting compelling evidence for earning proficiency credit for past experiences and training. Transcripts of the 15 hours of the completed ESOL coursework can be submitted to the FLDOE to apply for the addition of the ESOL endorsement to an existing Florida teaching certificate.

Candidates for This Program Include:

• UWF graduate students and others in the community who desire certification of expertise in TESOL.
• National and international educators who desire credentials that allow them to teach English as an additional language in the U.S. and abroad.
• Certified teachers who wish to add an ESOL endorsement to their current teaching certification.

You Will Be Able To:

• Analyze cross-cultural and cross-linguistic characteristics of communication as they relate to teaching culturally and linguistically diverse students.
• Apply theories of second language acquisition and language learning processes in lesson planning.
• Produce critical and creative TESOL materials based on current approaches and methodology, curriculum and materials development and the assessment of language learners.

*Requirements for teacher certification differ by state. Applications should contact their state department of education to determine whether this program can be used in obtaining a TESOL certificate.

Educators who do not specialize in TESOL but wish to better serve students of all levels of English language mastery in their classrooms will gain the cultural awareness and learn the pedagogical theories to help students across the language barrier. This can improve the educational experience for students not just in their TESOL-focused classes but also in other classrooms, where a language barrier can be a frustrating impediment to desired learning outcomes. The skills and knowledge you'll develop in the online graduate certificate in TESOL program can be an asset at any school with a growing population of English language learners. This credential can demonstrate to current or prospective employers that you are dedicated to being the best instructor you can be.

This program does not provide instruction in speaking English. It prepares educators to teach English to speakers of other languages and is not an English language program for second or other language learners.

Note: In order to enroll in any of these programs, a bachelor's degree is required. No program can guarantee licensure. It is each student’s responsibility to determine the licensure requirements in his or her state and to apply for the licenses or endorsements necessary to his or her career goals. Our department staff and licensure officer can provide individual support during the application process to help you understand your state’s requirements.

If you plan to obtain a license or certification in a state other than Kansas or a US territory after completion of your program, it is highly recommended you first seek guidance from the appropriate licensing agency BEFORE beginning the academic program to ensure you can obtain a license of certification in your home state or territory. The website https://nc-sara.org/professional-licensure-directory provides resources for licensure and certification boards outside of Kansas.

4th Online Conference International TESOL Associations

The English Department at Bethlehem University is proud to announce the participation of Ms. Paola Handal and Ms. Maram Daboub at the prestigious TESOL 2024 Building Bridges, Building Cooperation: Unveiling Challenges & Best Practices in ELT. Held annually, this conference serves as a global platform for educators and experts in English language teaching.

Despite the challenges posed by the ongoing conflict, Ms. Paola and Ms. Maram were determined to contribute to this event. While they were unable to physically attend the conference in the United States, they seized the opportunity to present virtually. Their dedication and innovative spirit were evident as they shared their insights and expertise with participants from around the world.

The focus of their presentation was on “Inquiry-based Learning: English for Specific Purposes with Palestinian Teacher Candidates.” Through this engaging session, Ms. Paola and Ms. Maram explored the transformative potential of inquiry-based learning in the context of English language education. Drawing from their experiences working with Education majors, they delved into effective strategies and best practices for incorporating inquiry-based approaches into English language instruction.

By sharing their knowledge, Ms. Paola and Ms. Maram exemplified the commitment of the English Department at Bethlehem University to promoting innovative teaching methodologies and advancing English language education.

We extend our congratulations to Ms. Paola and Ms. Maram for their contribution to this event.
