For this article, I was asked to share my experience in the BYU--Idaho TESOL minor.

The following is stated:
When Jenna Smith discovered a love for language teaching and working with immigrants, she looked for a program on campus that could relate to that field. She learned about the TESOL degree, which was brand new at the time, and started taking the required classes.
​
Smith loved the program and appreciated how much the instructors cared about the students enrolled in it. In addition, during practicums, she enjoyed seeing how the skills she learned had the power to help people. After graduating, Smith enrolled in Brigham Young University’s TESOL Master’s Degree.
​
“I felt like the TESOL minor at BYU-Idaho prepared me very well for it,” she concluded.
