TESOL Practicum | TESL.X390

This practicum provides an opportunity to apply theory and methodology to the ESL classroom through supervised student teaching.

Candidates prepare a lesson plan, including teaching objectives, learner outcomes, methodologies, and assessment tools. Observation and feedback sessions with the instructor are arranged individually. Candidates organize a portfolio of their coursework, sample student work, and evidence of professional achievement in the TESOL program. Portfolio review is part of the certificate evaluation.
