Teaching English as a Second Language Minor
Program description
Four courses are required to complete the undergraduate minor: Teaching English as a Second Language.
Students learn about the structure of the English language and best practices for teaching and learning a language in formal and informal settings. The coursework can lead to further study in second language acquisition and applied linguistics at the graduate level. This program DOES NOT lead to state teaching certification or licensure needed to teach K-12 in public schools. ESL teaching licensure is offered only at the graduate level. More information is available on the C&I website (https://www.cehd.umn.edu/ci/academics/SLE/TESL-minor.html)
