ESL Add-On Licensure Required Courses
A grade of C or better is
required in all of the professional ESL add-on licensure courses. Candidates must maintain a C average in each
of the five licensure courses to remain in the NCSU ESL licensure program.
ANT 254: Language and Culture
* FL 424: Linguistics for ESL Professionals
*FL 439: Perspectives on English as a New Language
(ENL)
* FL/ECI 425: Methods and Materials in Teaching English
as a Second Language
* FL/ECI 440:
Internship in Teaching English as a Second Language, offered by special
arrangement with the participant's home school district and is taken after
all other courses have been completed. FL/ECI 440 consists of two
components.
Licensure candidates must first complete a minimum of 15 hours of
observation at any public school ESL site (K-12), at a variety of
proficiency and grade levels. This can be completed any time prior to the
second component.
The second component requires candidates to complete a minimum
of 30 hours of instruction with ESL students (K-12). In the internship course,
candidates locate an appropriate ESL site and work under the supervision of
a cooperating teacher. This requirement is in place for all participants,
including those who are currently serving as ESL teachers. The Director of
ESL will make every effort to assist the candidate in finding an ESL site
that coordinates with the candidate's teaching schedule. The internship
course is the culmination of the program.
This supervised internship can be completed in the candidate's
home district or in another district, in cooperation with the North
Carolina State University ESL Licensure Program.
* Pre-requisite: admission to
the ESL Teacher Licensure Program is required to register for these
courses.
Selected courses available during the two summer sessions via DE.
