Overview
The TCSOL/TESOL Dual Certificate Summer Program is a collaborative program co-sponsored by the Center for International Foreign Language Teacher Education (CIFLTE) at Teachers College, Columbia University and by Osaka Gakuin University in Osaka, Japan. This dual certificate program provides intensive training in the teaching of both Chinese and English. Participants, however, have the option of obtaining either a single certificate either in TCSOL or TESOL, or a dual TCSOL/TESOL certificate.
