ENL/ESL
Are you a high school teacher looking to boost your qualifications to teach English as a New Language/English as a Second Language?
Our M.S.Ed. program offers a concentration in ENL/ESL that provides coursework for high school teachers seeking to enhance their knowledge and understanding of this growing and vitally important field.
The concentration consists of 30 hours of coursework that focuses on both technical aspects of ENL/ESL instruction and wider cultural issues that offer context for understanding the classroom environment. In addition, field experience will acquaint students with the realities of this rewarding work.
This degree program includes the coursework necessary for a license addition in Teaching English Learners (or Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). It also includes the coursework necessary for Indiana teachers to serve as "EL Teacher of Record."
