  • Employ effective curriculum, instruction and assessment practices for English language learners.

Minor Requirements (21-23 semester hours)


There is considerable demand for professionals to teach English in the USA and around the world. This program would enhance student’s preparation to teach English overseas in private language schools, university language centers, and businesses. In addition, this program can prepare students to teach in the USA in contexts outside the K-12 system including community-based organizations, intensive English programs, and technical and community colleges.
