Please define what you would consider the cheapest and quickest?
Diploma mills???? seems to fit this description: cheapest and quickest...
but somehow I think this is not what you had in mind... Rolling Eyes

Just a hunch...but you might be better served...if you were more specific.
- Location? country?
Do you have any preferences where you want to do this MA?
- Your current level of education and related experience?
- Your maximum time frame
- Your maximum budget
- Online or on campus
- What level you aim to teach...

Your shotgun approach will not garner much of a response...or rather you may possibly get random answers or nothing at all since you offered little or nothing to go on.

Im getting my master's in something else, I was just curious about the MA TEFOL.

Im from NC, USA but like I said im just wondering whats out their for the best value, price and time wise.

Hold a unrelated BA.

The quicker the better.

The cheaper the better.

Online would be best as long as its accredited.

University would be the level aimed to teach.

Or yours, apparently? Most people who have been following this board for any length of time recognize that "critical thinking" is indeed one of tttompatz's "strong suits."

Dear John,

As you can see im a casual observer of things "esl".

None the less, for anyone that knows anything about esl, it was obvious I meant / was talking about "TESOL".

Regards,
Carolina

Not to be really mean, but as someone who is also considering a second master's degree, you might want to put at least a minute's thought into what type of degree you would like to pursue. I mean, I'm a casual observer of fashion but before I shell out even 30 bucks on a pair of jeans I at least check if they fit.

Dear CarolinaTHeels,

Well, it's true I didn't think it was this:

http://www.tefol.com.au/

although - one of their specialties is "Boring", so maybe it's not too different. Very Happy

Regards,
John

Pretty much common sense, so yea id hope BEFORE someone shells out money they know about the degree and field.

Just checked my local Uni and they have a Licensure in English as Second Language in the Graduate catalog. 18 hrs. I assume that is a MA TESOL. Would prob cost around 8k I assume.

Well, Im glad you were able to discern the two, which im sure tttompatz could do as well, only he wanted to be a SA.

Cheers,
