Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages Minor

27 credits

Introduction/What is the Study of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages?

The TESOL minor is available to undergraduate students in the TESOL certificate program with a focus on adult learners. Students earning an ELL and/or Bilingual Education endorsement may choose to complete either the 27-credit TESOL minor with a focus on P-12 learners or the 33-credit Bilingual Education minor, but not both. To declare the TESOL minor, students must demonstrate study of another culture (gained through experience, or the minimum of 3 credits of approved course work) and the equivalent of one year of college-level foreign language study.
