 TESOL New York City As the biggest city in the United States, New York's influence stretches far beyond its home country's borders to regions all around the globe.

On a more local level there are a seemingly never-ending number of things to see and do in the city, and it is a fantastic place to take your TESOL certificate course. Although originally settled by Europeans 400 years ago, it was not until major upheavals back in Europe in the middle of the 1800s that New York City really started to grow in size and influence. The city's population swelled with immigrants flooding in from Ireland escaping the famine that was gripping the nation, others were fleeing social unrest on mainland Europe. New York's population has continued to grow since then and it has now become one of the largest and most ethnically diverse urban populations in the world, with over one-third of its residents, born outside of the United States, and around 800 different languages spoken by the city's inhabitants. With such a diverse population drawn from all over the world it is easy to see why it was chosen to be the home of the United Nations. As with any large city there are a huge number of things to see and do in this thriving metropolis.
