PK - 12 Licensure Teaching Minor

The mission of the minor in Teaching English as a Second Language is to prepare students to work effectively in promoting English language acquisition by children and adults who have not used English as their primary language.  The minor will also serve to develop knowledge of cross-cultural education.  The TESL minor draws heavily upon theories of linguistics, research on social and cultural variables that influence second language acquisition, and the knowledge required to facilitate second language learning.

Schedule a meeting with a TESOL advisor to discuss your interest in completing the PK-12 Licensure Teaching Minor and complete your Declaration of initial teaching licensure form.
