什么是TESOL?TESOL是“Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages” 的縮寫,中文翻譯是“對(duì)外英語(yǔ)教學(xué)”。這個(gè)專業(yè)是英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言學(xué)與教育學(xué)/教學(xué)法的結(jié)合，在國(guó)外大學(xué)里大多將這個(gè)專業(yè)設(shè)置在語(yǔ)言學(xué)院或者教育學(xué)院。主要是針對(duì)母語(yǔ)是非英語(yǔ)國(guó)家的人的英語(yǔ)教育。由于TESOL的教學(xué)對(duì)象是“對(duì)外”，所以其教學(xué)方法不僅在于對(duì)英語(yǔ)本身的教育，特別考慮到學(xué)習(xí)者的母語(yǔ)和文化背景。
在此要強(qiáng)調(diào)，大家在了解這個(gè)專業(yè)的時(shí)候可能也看到了TEFL專業(yè)，那在此我也介紹一下，TEFL是指Teaching English as a Foreign Language(作為外語(yǔ)的英語(yǔ)教學(xué))，目前基本上tesol、tefl和tesl證書都已經(jīng)被混用了，三者沒(méi)有被嚴(yán)格的區(qū)別，都被作為外教資格證來(lái)看待。所以大家在選擇專業(yè)時(shí)，也不用太強(qiáng)調(diào)這其中的區(qū)別了。
那TESOL專業(yè)到底要學(xué)些什么呢?我用各國(guó)大學(xué)的專業(yè)課程設(shè)置來(lái)為大家做個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的對(duì)比。
