Program Details
Enroll in this ESL certification online degree and advance professional opportunities. The United States is growing more diverse all the time, as is the need for instructors to teach children whose first language is not English. This includes teaching both children whose native language is not English and those whose native language is Spanish (bilingual).
The curriculum, which is designed for K-12 teachers and requires candidates to be proficient in Spanish as well as English, focuses on:
- History of English as a second language and bilingual education
- Foundations of English as a second language and bilingual education
- English as a second language/Bilingual assessment
- Content-specific pedagogies
You will learn ways to help English language learners by limiting confusion.
The courses are designed to supplement other curricula and provide a deep understanding of bilingual learning.
