Based on the aforementioned reasons, it is imperative to continually evaluate and reexamine the effectiveness of TESOL master's programs, as well as to investigate what information and skills this program promotes to prepare graduate students for their current and future careers. Two appendixes are included: (1) Demographics; and (2) Interview Questions. |
