Certificate in TESOL To recognize the significance of the training received, a certificate is granted to those who complete 19 units of prescribed TESOL coursework. Sixteen of these units must be completed at Biola University. While the Biola undergraduate certificate in TESOL does not have the same coverage as the graduate certificate, it should be noted that it requires much more than the typical entry level certificate and, as such, qualifies its holders for work in many institutions in the United States and abroad. Students interested in TESOL training may note that there is an unregulated market for a wide range of "certificates." While Biola university-issued TESOL certificates are for year-long programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels, the department can also prepare certificates of completion for students who complete one or more courses. These certificates specify number of contact hours and topics covered.

Applied Linguistics Mission & Learning Outcomes
Applied linguistics courses help students to more effectively learn languages. They also address other language-related human problems in the United States and abroad, such as language teaching, literacy, social aspects of language use, and translation. Students majoring in intercultural studies, education, English, modern languages, and biblical languages may especially benefit from the specialized training, but the courses and minor are open to all. Summer Institute of Linguistics at Biola The Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) at Biola is associated with the Department of Applied Linguistics & TESOL. This collaboration means that experienced instructors who have served with Wycliffe Bible Translators cooperate in teaching a range of courses including language analysis, language use, and Bible translation. These courses are equivalent to those offered at other SIL schools, and are recognized as valid for membership in Wycliffe and other mission organizations. Depending on expected field of service and specialty, some students, however, may need to take additional courses at Biola or other SIL summer programs to meet all their SIL training requirements. TESOL Mission & Learning Outcomes English has become the most widely used language in the world today and there is great demand for trained professionals to teach with integrity. Opportunities for service include working in North America with immigrants, refugees, and international students, as well as working around the world. Students preparing for short term missions as well as those seeking careers in adult education may take one or more TESOL courses. The courses are especially appropriate for students majoring in intercultural studies, education, English, and modern languages, but are open to all.
