Overview

The number of immigrants and refugees has been increasing in the St. Louis areas, and the classrooms are having more English language learners (ELLs).

Key features

The TESOL - Elementary Education (1-6) program from University of Missouri–St. Louis cover general linguistics, second/foreign language acquisition principles, cross-cultural communication theories and practices, assessments with coping strategies, developing and implementing instructional materials with reflection.

The instructional design for each TESOL course includes the three stages:

exploring students’ backgrounds and having desired results with the assessment strategies,
enacting with or presenting the interactive activities with the explicit language targets, and

expanding inquiry with guided reflection.

The teachers-to-be will be very competitive at the job markets due to the increasing needs of having knowledge, skills and disposition, not only for the ELLs, but for other linguistically diverse students. Teachers with these P-12 TESOL endorsement will also have opportunity to work as ELL specialists as well as classroom teachers.
