The following list of TESOL Distance Learning programs is taken from a posting to Neteach on 29 Jun 1997 from Peter Nichols:

"I recommend reading Daniel Dunkley's "A Guide to British Master's Degrees in TESOL by Distance Learning" (The Language Teacher Online). It contains "A Check List" for evaluating Distance Learning programs. Thanks to Scott Rule, editor of TLT Online, for providing the URL http://langue.hyper.chubu.ac.jp/jalt/pub/tlt/97/mar/distance.html

For a comparison of British versus American graduate programs, see Dr. Kitao's "British University Education-A View from a Japanese Scholar." Note this article does not discuss Distance Learning programs. http://ilc2.doshisha.ac.jp/users/kkitao/library/student/educatio.htm

From a July 1998 thread on the topic:

"The New School" in New York offer a teaching certificate with a number (but not all) of the courses available through their online program. The website is <http://www.dialnsa.edu>

Maquarie University also has a distance MA; see http://www.coe.mq.edu.au/coe/Postgrad/postgrad.htm

UCLA Extension has a certificate program (but not a M.A.) that is taught entirely online. See http://www.OnlineLearning.net/CommunitiesOfStudy/neighborhoods.cfm?NB=TEFL
