Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) Minor
This minor satisfies the endorsement for English as a second language. This minor prepares students to teach in classrooms where second language students are enrolled. While the bilingual/TESL minor leads to a bilingual education endorsement, the TESL minor leads to the English Language Learners endorsement. Students must complete, or have already completed, one year of study in a foreign or second language or the equivalent (at either the high school or university level).
Full admission into the Professional Education Program is required before enrollment in any of the EDBL courses.
EDBL 492 requires that four (4) required program courses be completed before enrollment.
