This program does not include a student teaching component, and does not therefore lead to licensure, but may lead to career advancement for those already licensed as teachers. The Graduate Certificate of Completion in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is designed for teaching professionals with an interest in working with English language learners (ELLs) in or out of the classroom. The format and courses of this regionally accredited program are tailored to meet the needs of the adult learner and to maximize strengths that the working educator possesses. Courses are taught by experts in their respective fields who share knowledge and experience in areas of linguistics, second language acquisition, and curriculum development. All courses are directly aligned with the Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC) and the Standards for the Recognition of Initial TESOL Programs in Pβ 12 ESL Teacher Education (TESOL). Opportunities are provided to apply concepts, theories, and research throughout the program, but particularly in TESOL field experiences and a practicum that guide students through 40 hours of observational and practice- based experiences. Candidates must have access to a P-12 classroom with ESL students to complete the practicum course and program assignments. Graduates of the program are prepared to become leaders in ESL/BLE/TESOL at the P-12 classroom, school, community college, and district level (18 credits).
