Practicum in ESL/EFL Settings

Practical, on-the-job, supervised and evaluated field experiences that provide the foundation for success in teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Students develop conceptual and professional skills through their experiences at a field site. Students learn the procedures for evaluating programs in the areas of learner-centered curriculum, learner-centered planning, learner-centered services, and learner-centered system support. This course contains a field-based service-learning component. A candidate must earn a final grade of B (3.0, minimum) in the practicum/internship course in order to receive credit. If not, the course will need to be repeated.
