Program Purpose 

In Cambodia and the Asia-Pacific region, the demand for English education continues to  grow as national development and global integration increase. Recognized by the Royal  Government of Cambodia as a key tool for development and by individuals as essential for career  advancement, English serves as the primary language of international communication across  business, science, technology, media, and tourism. 

The Bachelor of Arts in Education, majoring in Teaching English to Speakers of Other  Languages (B.A.Ed. in TESOL), addresses the need for qualified English teachers by emphasizing  practical, experiential learning, including lesson planning, classroom observation, and assessment  design. The program is designed primarily for those seeking to teach English in private institutions  and for in-service teachers pursuing professional development. It provides a principled, practice 

oriented foundation that integrates current research, contextual teaching approaches, and digital  learning trends.
