Internship
An internship is a required component of the Master’s degrees and Post-Master’s Certificate in TESOL. It is designed to provide a practical work-experience component in your professional preparation. TSOL 566 Internship should be included in the last third of your program, after you have completed at least 30 hours of your degree work and all of your TSOL courses.

Internship Handbook
The Internship Handbook is available from the Program Office and provides a detailed description of the requirements for completing the internship. Finding an internship site can take 8-10 weeks of lead-time. No hours may be accrued toward the internship prior to written approval of your work plan by both the site supervisor and your faculty advisor at Seattle University.

TESOL students with fewer than two years’ teaching experience will focus their internship on teaching ESOL. Students with extensive ESOL experience may choose to focus their internship on teaching or related activities such as ESOL program administration, international student advising, curriculum development, etc. You may also choose to do a second internship (TSOL 567), which counts as an elective.

You are required to attend a total of two internship seminars held on campus. These seminars are announced via email and in the quarterly newsletter. You should attend the first seminar before completing your internship work plan or registering for TSOL 566.
