Second
languages and cultures
education
This area of study addresses teaching issues in all
second language settings—world languages, English as a second language
(ESL), dual language education, and immersion education.
The coursework includes instruction both for teachers who work
with English language learners (ELL) and limited English proficiency (LEP)
learners generally and those who work specifically with bilingual
learners and refugee/immigrant learners. By incorporating attention
to all second language teaching contexts within one program,
students gain broad perspectives that are valuable regardless of
their setting.
Program highlights
Access to cutting-edge
research:
The college is home to the
Center for Advanced Research on
Language Acquisition, which supports a number of programs
related to second language teaching, learning, and assessment.
Cohort model:
The initial licensure program in
second languages and cultures education is based on
a cohort model,
meaning that small groups of students start the program at the
same time.

Students seeking licensure can choose
from 15 different languages, including Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, and
ESL.
