TESL-420 TESOL Practicum (3) This course prepares students to step into teaching English as an Additional Language (EAL), deal with a variety of teaching situations, and reflect on their own work and positions as teachers of EAL. Students learn through reflection who they are as teachers. From this base, students gain practice in thinking about the wide range of pedagogical, contextual, and sociopolitical considerations and decisions that make EAL teaching a complex and situated process. The course includes a 30-hour teaching practicum that offers students opportunities for community engagement, teaching, and volunteer work to support English language learners (ELLs) and not-for-profit programs that support ELLs. Prerequisite: TESL-220 and TESL-402 . Permission: TESOL program director.
