   About the program

   Moody Bible Institute offers a Master of Arts in TESOL that trains educators to teach English to speakers of other languages while grounding that work in the seminary's biblical and theological mission. The curriculum pairs TESOL pedagogy and applied linguistics with a component in biblical and theological studies, a combination that speaks to students who see language teaching as connected to ministry and cross-cultural service. Flexible delivery, whether fully online, on campus in Chicago or Plymouth, Michigan, or through a hybrid modular option, lets working adults and prospective missionaries fit the degree around existing commitments. Rather than a state teacher licensure track, the program orients graduates toward English teaching roles worldwide, including contexts abroad. Taken together, it reads as a faith-integrated path for people preparing to teach English across borders. This program offers a master's degree in teaching english or french as a second or foreign language in Illinois.

   Why it ranks here

   A master's degree earns its rank on program-appropriate signals, not undergraduate ones: established scale, local teacher pay, and institutional strength. On the first, it is clearly established, turning out 2 master's degrees a year, a steady if smaller cohort.
