Introduction
The English Language Learner minor is available to undergraduate students in the English Language Learner/Bilingual Endorsement program. This includes 31 credits of ELL coursework for students in teacher certification programs.
Students working toward an English Language Learner/Bilingual Education endorsement may choose to complete the 31-credit English Language Learner minor.
Why Consider an English Language Learner Minor?
Students who are English language learners are the fastest growing student population in the public school system. Statewide, approximately 10 percent of all P-12 students are ELLs, but in some districts that percentage is much, much higher. In order to meet the needs of this diverse population in monolingual English classrooms and in bilingual classrooms, we need teachers at all grade levels and content areas who have the knowledge gained in the ELL minor.
