Minor in English as a New Language/English as a Second Language
The ENL/ESL Minor prepares students of any major with the skills needed to meet the growing demand for ENL/ESL teachers in Indiana, Kentucky and the world. You do not have to speak another language to teach English. The minor provides students with an understanding of:
- Components of language and principles of language acquisition and development
- Culture as a component of effective instruction
- Issues related to equitable and appropriate content and language assessment for language learners
- Individual differentiation options for all students—not just language learners
