Each course is a 50-clock hour course with a fifteen (15-hour) Field Experience requirement attached. The ESOL endorsement program offered through Atlanta Public Schools is a 175-clock hour program.
Field Experience- Field experience is required for each course. Field experience is designed to give course participants hands-on experience in applying strategies and techniques learned.
Course Description:
In this course students will examine past and current approaches, methods, and techniques for teaching English as a Second Language. Students will analyze program models and methods of instruction for student’s limited English proficiency; demonstrate teaching strategies; develop lesson and unit planning skills; evaluate materials, textbooks, and resources available in the field; examine issues in testing students of limited English proficiency for placement, diagnosis, exit, and evaluations; and analyze current assessment instruments.
