Description:

(1/2 to 1 1/2) Students develop strategies-fully grounded in research, and practice- to teach English as a second language (ESL) in the United States or to teach English as a foreign language (EFL) internationally. Students will have the option of enrolling in the class for either one-half credit or one credit. Both the one-half credit and the one-credit courses will focus upon second language assessment, second language teaching methodologies, and ESL/EFL materials development and curriculum design.
