program who is also working on receiving his English as a Second Language License.\u00a0 In this post, I will explain my personal experience through the ESL licensure program.\u00a0 My hopes are to help you decide whether or not this would be the best step for your educational experience\/professional development.\u00a0 In an attempt to provide you with a more personal understanding of what the ESL courses have to offer, I will break down the 21 credit hours required to receive the license so you will be able to see how the courses will benefit you in the field of ESL education, as well as your content area.<\/p>\n<p>To start, I think it is appropriate to explain how I got involved in the ESL program.\u00a0 Back in the day, I was in my EDSEC 150 course when a nice old lady from the Teachers\u2019 College came to discuss some educational opportunities.\u00a0 She addressed a number of options with handouts, such as the Special Ed minor, study abroad opportunities, etc.\u00a0 To be completely honest, my \u201cdo-the-bare-minimum-and-get-out-of-college\u201d freshman mindset got the best of me, and I wasn\u2019t really paying attention.\u00a0 That was until the white haired woman said, \u201cIf you are an English Ed major, I strongly suggest you consider the ESL program because it is only a few extra classes you will have to take.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As I looked over the light blue handout containing the list of the ESL licensure courses, I saw that the lady from the Teacher\u2019s College was right.\u00a0 ENG 220 and ENG 321 were already required courses for the English Ed majors.\u00a0 Furthermore, ENG 320 could count for the English Ed majors\u2019 300 level required elective course.\u00a0 This only left me with four additional classes needed to get the license.\u00a0 ONLY FOUR CLASSES!!!\u00a0 So when the next course enrollment came around, I jumped right in without consulting my advisors or anyone (not necessarily recommended, but I just wanted to illustrate the accessibility of the program for those who are interested in trying it out).<\/p>\n<p>ENG 320, Introduction to Linguistic Science, was the first course I took in the program.\u00a0 Though I will admit this does not sound like the most exciting class in the world, I must say, don\u2019t judge a book by its cover.\u00a0 In this class, we studied the basics of language: how it is used, the different concepts, the history of it, and how it is constantly changing.\u00a0 In my opinion, this is the rebel linguistics course.\u00a0 It teaches you the rules so you can break them.\u00a0 After you learn the content in this course, you will see how fun it is to confront a linguistic snob who says, \u201cYou can\u2019t end a sentence with a preposition.\u201d And you say, \u201cWell actually, that idea is based on a Latin rule which carries no real weight in our developing English language, so preposition at the end or not, the sentence will still make sense if I want it to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ENG 436 and 437 were next two courses I took (take these classes together).\u00a0 These two classes focused less on language and more on the process of language learning.\u00a0 In 436 we were required to find a language-learning student and \u201cstudy\u201d them.\u00a0 Through class readings, discussions, and interactions with the student, we were able to analyze their proficiency levels and why they were struggling with certain linguistic characteristics.\u00a0 In 437, we learn how to work with the students\u2019 proficiency levels and how to assist them with their acquisition of the language.<\/p>\n<p>The great thing about these courses is the experience you gain.\u00a0 The professors place you in one of the local schools with an ELL (English Language Learner).\u00a0 You go into the school and work with the student one-on-one.\u00a0 This was a great experience for me because I really got to see what it\u2019s like being an ESL \u201cpull-out\u201d instructor.\u00a0 I worked alongside counselors, teachers, and administrators trying to create a positive educational experience for the ELL.<\/p>\n<p>ENG 457 and FL 396 were the next courses I took (take these together).\u00a0 They were kind of the \u201cstep above\u201d 436 and 437.\u00a0 FL 396 is a course dedicated to using technology and assessment in foreign language learning. <em>I learned more about assessment and its purpose from this course than all of my other education courses combined<\/em>. \u00a0Along with FL 396, ENG 457 provided me with the opportunity to put the knowledge I gained from all of my ESL education classes into practice.\u00a0 I was placed in a local school with a group of language learners.\u00a0 We met twice a week.\u00a0 I was given the freedom to see what the students needed to learn and how I wanted to go about teaching them.\u00a0 Through this differentiated project based course, I developed a great relationship with the students, learned a lot about teaching, and enjoyed every minute of it.\u00a0 To my knowledge, there is no other education program that offers you this kind of hands-on experience.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Lynne Stallings is a great professor and head of the ESL program.\u00a0 Leading by example, she completely changed my view of how to teach and the purpose of education.\u00a0 Though she was very challenging at times, she challenged my classmates and I for the best.\u00a0 She pushed us to go outside our comfort zones in order to make us better teachers.\u00a0 And she was successful.<\/p>\n<p>I hope I was able to shed personal light on the program and these courses.\u00a0 I know the course descriptions on Course Planner never really get at the heart of the course.\u00a0 And even still, you would have to experience the program itself to truly appreciate its value.<\/p>\n<p>Good Luck,<\/p>\n<p>Luke Boggess<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, I am Luke Boggess\u2014a senior in the English education program who is also
