The purpose of the Practicum experience in English as a Second Language (ESL) practicum (Supervised Internship in English as a Second Language, EDCI 5580 Section 01, 2 credits) is to provide students an opportunity to demonstrate competence in the standards associated with the ESL endorsement. In addition, we hope that the experience will develop an ethic of selfassessment that is critical to all professional educators.
The practicum can only begin once the student has completed the previous four courses that make up the ESL endorsement (ENGL/LANG 4750, ENGL/LANG 4770, EDCI 4350, and ENGL 5030) but not before student teaching. However, work conducted as part of a normal work assignment or student teaching can be used for the practicum experience, as long as it meets the number of contact hours associated with working with second language learners.
NOTE: Placement site must be reviewed and approved appropriate channels as required on the Plan for PRIOR to beginning the practicum experience.
