English
as a Second Language
Lenoir-Rhyne
and the Department of Education and Counseling are committed to improving
the quality of life of citizens in this region. This commitment must
include the awareness, understanding and support of the needs of a multi-ethnic
community. One way we are meeting this responsibility is by offering
a one-year preparation program for teachers of English as a Second Language.
The ESL Licensure Program provides students opportunities to make use
of the college's resources and experiences while they prepare for service
in a culturally diverse society and workplace.
The
K-12 ESL Licensure Program approved by NCSDPI will meet the needs of
following:
|
♦ |
public school professionals who work with the growing school population
of children and parents who are linguistically and culturally different; |
|
♦ |
prospective educators who want to prepare for licensure in more
than one area; |
|
♦ |
ESL tutors in the public and private schools; |
|
♦ |
prospective teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) seeking
employment abroad; |
|
♦ |
social services personnel working with populations having limited
English language proficiency. |
Beginning August 2003, ESL Teacher Licensure has been
modified for
both Primary and Add-on
Licensure.
