University of Minnesota Minneapolis, MN 55455 USA  Details (faculty, curriculum, etc.) The Program in English as a Second Language (TESL) in the College of Liberal Arts offers a course of study leading to the Master of Arts. Degree holders are qualified to teach ESL to adults at the college or university level. This program was rated among the top ten such M.A. programs internationally in an independent survey undertaken in 1992. Since we are a comparatively small program, admitting only 8 to 12 new students each year, we are able to provide more extensive individual attention as well as greater opportunity for teaching assistant positions than is found in other M.A. programs nationally. * Required Coursework for the M.A. in ESL Ling 5001: Introduction to Linguistics (4 credits) TESL 5721: English as a Second Language: Methods (3 credits) TESL 5722: English as a Second Language: Practicum (3 credits) TESL 5401, 5402: Language Analysis for Teachers of ESL (4 credits, 4 credits) Ling 5505: Intro to Second-Language Acquisition (3 credits) One course must be selected from the following: TESL 5723: Materials for Teaching ESL (3 credits) TESL 5724: Introduction to Language Assessment (3 credits)     Other programs in Minnesota, United States Minnesota State University, Mankato (Mankato) (CoLA/Eng/M) St. Cloud State University (St. Cloud) (CoLA/Eng/M) CoLA/ESL&AL/M programs in United States Portland State University (Portland, Oregon)  Categories used for classifying programs CoE: College of Education CoLA: College of Liberal Arts BiEdu: Department of Bilingual Education C&I: Department of Curriculum & Instruction Eng: Department of English EngEdu: Department of English Education ESL&AL: Department of English as a Second Language & Applied Linguistics Lg: Department of Languages Lg&Lin: Department of Languages & Linguistics Lin: Department of Linguistics Oth: Others Inter&Un: Interdisciplinary & Unspecified  Degrees used for classifying programs M: Master degree only D: Doctoral degree only M,D: Master and doctoral degrees  Back to the TOP  Back to the College List  Back to the country page
